Code #1

Observations

Yes those are numbers you are seeing in the middle. It’s a code within a code !

Spoiler

Using Atbash reveals something interesting

wzksithdaphrgshvhrulhysesifosb

Looks like we now have a better passcode format and the same pattern in the middle

Split for passcode format

wzksith daphrgshvhrulhy sesifosb

We have the prefix and suffix

wzk63 764sb

For the keyword, it was contained in it’s own self

wzk63self764sb

Code #2

Observations

All numbers but one of them is almost evenly spaced

Spoiler

Zero seems to be a good split point which gives us groups of 4

0189

0657

0869

0556

0087

0456

0269

0985

0754

0354

The first two digits indicate the order, the other two the Ascii value. Reorder from 00 to 09

00 87

01 89

02 69

03 54

04 56

05 56

06 57

07 54

08 69

09 85

87 89 69 54 56 56 57 54 69 85

Convert decimal to Ascii

WYE68896EU

The logical keyword would be the method we used which is ordered

wye68ordered896eu

Code #3

Observations

One of the less used cipher which also gives you the keyword.

Spoiler

A railfence of 3 gives

adwthreetwoseveneightnineyo

adw32789yo

The cipher was railfence which is also a wave cipher
