Code #1
Observations
22 letters, some written numbers can be seen. Can you spot the keyword ?
In that last part you can se OFEIOF, reversed they become good numbers: FOEIFO. Reverse each groups of 11 letters

Code #2
Observations
Mix of letters and numbers
[hint]The morse I look at it the morse I want to throw it in the bin !!![/hint]
With codes like these a good start is to try and see what morse looks like.
-..- --.- -... -.-. -..- ....- -..- ..--- ...-- .-.. --.- --... --.- -..- --- .-.. .-.. .--. .--. ---.. .---- -..- -..- ....- ---.. -.-. .
Once you get the morse code try different groupings, 6 for braille then 8 for binary. Groups of 8 looks interesting
-..---.-
-...-.-.
-..-....
--..-..-
--...--.
-..--.--
-...--.-
-..----.
-...-...
--..--.-
--...---
--..--..
-....---
-..-.-..
Notice that each group start with a – and – – where numbers would fall? Has to be binary. Dashes=0 dots=1

Convert binary to text

Code #3
Observations
All the ingredients are there, usual cipher might apply
[hint]It’s exactly what you are thinking but you will need to play with the columns to get it right[/hint]
Make a 3×5 grid

Can you spot the keyword in the 3rd column? Rearrange the rows to get chaos

Still not the right format for a valid passcode. Shift column 1 up by 2 and column 2 up by 1

Read down from U putting chaos where the keyword belongs
