I tried for a few hours but ended up giving up. Maybe you might like to have a go.
It's a nice website too:

Lol at using Portnoy as a cautionary tale :)
EDIT: some feedback: the site is nice, but having to wait a few seconds before every screen is fully loaded tests one's patience...

The morse code
translates to
ZEROBONEZEROONEZERO FINGZ KNEE DID 4D A DRESS 2Z PRIES
0b1010 is binary for decimal 10, so
10 things needed for the address to see prize
They want you to pay for ten lessons, so I guess it's all marketing to get buyers, and the prize cannot be claimed without buying lessons. If so, I don't consider it a nice puzzle.

They say "hidden on this card is every clue" so I presume that's true.

I sat through the first lesson.
At the top-right (right of the Help button) there is a slide selector.
You can select a hidden extra slide at the bottom:
The slide plays a Rick-Roll video, and after a couple of seconds, there is an overlay of binary numbers:
You can copy the data with the HTML inspector.
Decoding it to ASCII characters gives:
"You found a clue to the hidden treasure of 1 FULL BITCOIN! :) abstract"
First seed word is abstract.
But this is a different prize?

The real path to the slide is at the end of the video where nixon talks. There is a spider/bat that appears and you get there if you click on it

I tried to follow the rules for building passphrases as used in the example
- pick five words from (the image of) the card, lower-case, no blanks, nonsensical
- double o's
- upper-case k
- add ##3 ('to protect bitcoin')
For example:
font knee to what black -> foontKneetoowhatblacK##3
Tried various combinations, no luck so far.

Here is a Python script to download all images from the server in full resolution to inspect locally.
I haven't found anything interesting in them so far, but they reveal the congratulation.

I was trying to decode the blue font with the bip39 word list. I saw the yellow morse code on the other side and thought I should probably be doing more productive stuff with my time.

Here's an analysis of the KeePass file. In short, it looks valid, if slightly large. Brute-forcing the password is futile.

Has anyone found anything by zooming in on details, like the help text suggests?
How do you zoom in on desktop with Firefox? Ctrl-+ doesn't work.

Yes, the same image can be seen on other sites:

You mean the image of the Passport device?
I'd assume that's simply a press kit image from the vendor.
That's page 1 of 2 from an animated QR code. I assume that's what their "Envoy" app reads.
Looks like base26, but decodes to binary gibberish:
It could be a key file for KeePass, in addition to the passphrase. But that's very far-fetched, IMO. :)
