Three codes could be found in the PAC’S WEEKLY WRAP-UP: AUGUST 7, 2016 post on the Investigate Ingress blog.

Code #1
Observations
Right amount of numbers for a passcode.
Ok, here’s a weird one to explain. The only way I could get a valid passcode format was with a 2×11 grid
i |
f |
s |
h |
e |
n |
p |
6 |
j |
6 |
e |
e |
3 |
s |
7 |
k |
6 |
i |
q |
s |
e |
k |
Read down from the upper right F
fhn66eskiskisepje376qe
Now don’t ask me how or why but the first hunch I had was that the keyword was skepsis…
fhn66skepsis376qe
Code #2
Observations
31 letters without any particular range.
In a case like this Morse or Vigenere would be my first try but nothing good came up. I then tried letters to numbers (a=0)
10 21 17 9 9 5 25 21 19 10 5 11 6 11 0 10 11 15 1 1 5 5 2 5 6 5 7 1 12 9 8
This actually gives a pretty good range. Let’s rearrange it for Ascii
102 117 99 52 52 119 105 116 110 101 115 115 52 56 57 112 98
Convert decimal to Ascii
fuc44witness489pb
In Japanese, witness translates to shonin
fuc44shonin489pb
Code #3
Observations
This is definitely hex but needs a bit of work
Start by making pairs to see what you have to work with
d4 64 a5 04 82 33 85 05 13 03 25 33 25 63 63 23 74 64
Reversing it will put everything more closely to a good Ascii range
46 47 32 36 36 52 33 52 30 31 50 58 33 28 40 5a 46 4d
Convert Hex to Ascii
FG266R3R01PX3(@ZFM
Let’s reverse everything again
MFZ@(3XP10R3R662GF
Now convert those symbols to numbers and the keyword is leetspeak
