Right amount of numbers for a passcode and yes there is a keyword in there even if there is only one vowel.

Code #2
Observations
A lot of numbers but they are probably there just to throw you off. A simple manipulation will guide you to the passcode.

To get that prefix right you need to change the numbers 100 10 10 to roman numerals

Code #3
Observations
45 characters, seems like the same letters and numbers are used.
[hint]Counting will help you on this one after the first manipulation[/hint]
With a string like that morse is usually the first step, let’s see what it gives.
..... ...- ..... ...- ..... ..-. ..... ..-. ..... .-.. ...- ..... --... ..-. ...- ..... ...- ..... ..-. ..... .-.. ..... ..-. ..... .-.. ....- ..... ..- -.... ..-. ..... ...- ..... --... ..- -.... .-.. ..-. ..... ..-. ..... ...- ..... ....- -
Notice that there are a lot more dots than dashes? This cannot be coincidence. Let’s split at every dash.
........- |
........- |

Now count the dots for every each string. If there are no dots count 0. Then make pairs with the numbers
