Python3: Continuing while loop after an else statement

I have recently finished my login detail vault program except for one last part where if the user were to try to access the login option by entering "a" to call login() before appending any login details to the dictionary through register(), it should print "You have no usernames or passwords stored!" and loop back to the menu(), but it simply just prints the message and the program stops instead of looping back to the menu() like I wanted to. I tried calling the menu function on that else statement but if I do this, and I try to call register() by entering "b" in the menu() which runs in a loop in the main function, the register() function isn't even called and stops abruptly just like calling login() without any login details appended. My other solutions seemed to get the loop working but at the cost of having the menu having more bugs where it asks for input twice, and sometimes not call anything at all. Help would appreciated as usual.

vault = {}

def menu():  
    print("Welcome to the main menu")     
    mode = input("""Hello {}, below are the modes that you can choose from:\n
    ##########################################################################
    a) Login with username and password
    b) Register as a new user
    To select a mode, enter the corresponding letter of the mode below
    ##########################################################################\n
    > """.format(name)).strip()
    return mode

def login(): 
    if len(vault) > 0 : #user has to append usernames and passwords before it asks for login details
        print("Welcome {} to the login console".format(name))
        noloop = True #Starts a loop if True will begin looping
        while noloop:
            username = input("Please enter username: ") 
            if username == "":
                print("Username not entered, try again!")
                continue 
            password = input("Please enter password: ") 
            if password == "":
                print("Password not entered, try again!")
                continue 
            try:
                if vault[username] == password: 
                    print("Username matches!")
                    print("Password matches!")
                    noloop = logged() #jumps to logged function and tells the user they are logged on
                    return noloop #to return the noloop depending on users option (True or False)
            except KeyError: #the except keyerror recognises the existence of the username and password in the list
                print("The entered username or password is not found!")

    else:
        print("You have no usernames and passwords stored!") 

def register(): 
    print("Please create a username and password into the password vault.\n")
    while True:
        validname = True #whileloop will loop the username variable and while True it runs the loop
        while validname:
            username = input("Please enter a username you would like to add to the password vault. NOTE: Your username must be at least 3 characters long: ").strip().lower()
            if not username.isalnum(): 
                print("Your username cannot be null, contain spaces or contain symbols \n")
            elif len(username) < 3: 
                print("Your username must be at least 3 characters long \n")
