They were great clues. Did you realise that 'twice noted' was both cryptic and straight when you wrote it?
The next password: 1. Old-fashioned sweetheart changes note in a tumult in the sky. 2. Letters lose approval, we hear, in the pass. 3. Direction found in muddied clay leads to the light.

1 is Menel. Leman-A + E equals Lemen. Switch that around and you get Menel, or the sky in Arda cosmology.
And with that alone, I say that the password is Mim.

MENEL: Old-fashioned sweetheart changes note in a tumult in the sky.
2. Letters lose approval, we hear, in the pass. 3. Direction found in muddied clay leads to the light. Yes, you have one of the passwords. But I am not putting it in until you work out where it is.

3 is Ormal, loam+r, also switched to make a lamp.
Now to crack the 2nd.....I will crack it, I swear..... Oh, and methinks the other password is Oin. Methinks someone is fascinated with dwarf names.... Well, despite not being able to crack it yet, I still say 2 is Cirith, elvish for pass.

No. I was only intending the cryptic part. Is he actually mentioned exactly twice? I remembered that he only appears very briefly, but I haven't thought of that. One time or three times were just as good to me.

He may be mentioned 3 times, but very close together.
Ormal is right, and so are Mim and Oin. Cirith is the correct pass, but it is not the answer to clue 2.

No pass is the final answer. How about the rest of the clue?

Nope to 3. It's far easier than that.

3. Shelob? Metaphorical flies?
8. There are so many flowers of both kinds, but I will try SAEROS, s plus a rose, although I doubt if there should be an article as well as the bloom/river.

Nope. For 3, try finding synonyms for 'lady' and 'flies' and that will give you the answer. For 8, the flower is a Tolkien flower.

I can make GALADRIEL from the word GLIDE and the woman's name LARA, but the clue says flies, not fly, and Lara is a girl's name, not an anagram for lady.

Okay, 3 is the wife of certain farmer, and 8 is an Easterling.

Farmer Cotton's wife is called Lily, I think. Farmer Maggot's wife isn't named, and I don't think Farmer Giles is married.

Nimrodel for the password.
So therefore Mrs Maggot for Lady of the flies - maggots are the larva form of flies, and I guess Mrs for lady.

Is 4 Rose Cotton, with sore as the answer to bruise?
I still think 6 can only start DAE, (Edda minus D), but the only person I can find is the well-known Daeron, and I can't find a way for NOR to mean trunk.

Deagol. Could not think of any Dea starting names and forgot about log.

Farmer Giles was married I am not certain of her name (Agatha has popped in to my head) but IIRC getting round her was a long walk.

Could 2 be Ingold? I thought the proposition bit would have to be idea, but that doesn't seem to work for this clue. If you propose something you're in? (Not sure).

And so is the next password!
1. Forest lord meets a matriarch in a muddle! 2. Behold! A twelvemonth. 3. An obsessed philologist, when bothered, can be a bit of a monster! 4. He sounds like the knowledge of journals. 5. One frost maiden. 6. Censure without appliance. Wayward thing! 7. Mixed scoop for him?

Just thought, Urwen ... was proposition a typo for preposition?

Double posting to avoid invisible edits
And 2. Loa?
7. Posco? (Not sure if this character exists, but sounds like a Hobbit)
