Code #1

Observations

This passcode was still live at the moment of writing the post

Hint: Passcode format is there. You’ve seen this before but are probably wondering why it is invalid. Remember, it’s just a game of opposites

Convert letters to numbers using a=0

13 21 22 14 12 11 12 22 11 11 22 21 23 11 11 13 22 12 21 11 22 1 14 3 21 23 4 23 21 3 4

If you add up all the digits you get 104 which can be divided by 8. Good candidate for binary RLE
