               name: "ADMIN",
               phone: "0777123456",

You're more likely to have an object like this:

let object = {
  login-attempt: 1
  name: "ADMIN"
  phone: "0777123456"
};

In this case, your code might be:

let prefix = object.phone.substr(0,2);

Or you might have an array of objects:

let object = [
  {
    login-attempt: 1
    name: "ADMIN"
    phone: "0777123456"
  },
  {
    login-attempt: 1
    name: "CLERK"
    phone: "2222222222"
  }
];

You can get the 1st two characters of the second element like this:

let prefix = object[1].phone.substr(0,2);

If the element was nested within "key":

let object = {
  key: {
    login-attempt: 1
    name: "ADMIN"
    phone: "0777123456"
  }
};

let prefix = object.key.phone.substr(0,2);

And so on...
