Passwords and keycards Prey Guide
Last update: 25 May 2017
This section contains the list of locations that contain passwords and keycards used to access various secure computer stations and new areas of the station.
The password system has an interesting feature - the passwords cannot be input directly, forcing you to take possession of the e-mail or a note containing the said code. When it comes to keycards, they are applied to keycard readers found next to the doors leading to more secure rooms or areas. Acquiring them allows you to avoid hacking the reader or searching the vicinity for an alternative entrance to the sought area.
Note - The list does not list the codes themselves, as most of them are random. The most important codes (e.g. the one used to access Yu's office or some of the safes) are fixed - these codes are listed in the corresponding parts of the walkthrough and Frequently Asked Questions section.
Attention - This page is under construction.
