As per the challenge description, we check out the source code which contains some obfuscation:

Running the chunk of obfuscated code through a de-obfuscator (such as jsnice.org) returns us a better look at the code, particularly the CheckPassword()
function:
window["localStorage"]["setItem"]("9-12", "BE*");
window["localStorage"]["setItem"]("4-7", "bb=");
window["localStorage"]["setItem"]("0-2", "5W");
window["localStorage"]["setItem"]("16", "^7M");
window["localStorage"]["setItem"]("12-14", "pg");
window["localStorage"]["setItem"]("7-9", "+n");
window["localStorage"]["setItem"]("14-16", "4t");
window["localStorage"]["setItem"]("2-4", "$F");
We can see that now we just need to rearrange the substrings in order to obtain the password: 5W$Fbb=+nBE*pg4t^7M
Upon logging in, we get the flag.
