I want to create custom error message and be able to read it in my catch block, how can I achieve this? I want to make erorMessage in catch block with the text that throw Error passes and be able to display custom error message. However when I try to log (err)

const password = "test";
const repeatPassword = "test1";
let errorMessage = "";

const handleSubmit = () => {
    if(password != repeatPassword) {
    throw Error("Passwords must match");
  }
  
  try {
    console.log("trying");
  } catch(err) {
    errorMessage = err;
    console.log(err);
  }
}

handleSubmit();

am I approaching this in wrong way?
