Code #1
Observations
If you apply the same old cipher and see the passcode format you are on the right track. You just need a bit of a twist
Make a 2×7 grid

r |
a |
t |
u |

9 |
7 |
6 |
q |
a |

We can see the passcode format if you read down but Qurt isn’t a keyword. Reverse rows 2, 4 & 6

Read going down from the upper left P

Code #2
Observations
Passcode format is there, don’t forget to apply the same method to the keyword
Rot +1 gives
dve43nigel535jg
Nigel is Nigel Moyer but since we used Rot +1 we need to go to his next generation. Susanna Moyer is his daughter.
dve43susanna535jg
Code #3
Observations
Count how many characters you have, split them up to see the pattern
We have 80 characters. In binary that would give us enough caracters for the prefix and suffix.
Make groups of 8
