Code #1
Observations
The right amount of numbers, you’ll need to find the right manipulation.
[hint]Yup, the usual easy manipulation that has been used daily now[/hint]

Code #2
Observations
Good passcode format but in reverse. Go through your usual ciphers
Atbash and ROT didn’t give anything good. Next best thing is to try morse
.. ..-. ----. ..--- ..--- . - ..- -.- ... --.- ----. ---.. .--. -.. .-..
Swap the morse
-- --.- ....- --... --... - . --. .-. --- ..-. ....- ...-- -..- .-- -.--
Convert morse to text

Code #3
Observations
You might think that it’s a phone cipher but those 0 and 11 don’t add up to anything good. Look closely at how numbers repeat to find the cipher.
[hint]What uses 3 rows of 10 characters[/hint]
This is a classic keyboard cipher, the amount of repetition of each numbers indicates which row to use. Ex.: 444 is fourth character if the third row which is V. Note that 0=10.
Convert each numbers splitting at the dots to get
