Where to find the Crait Outpost password for the Highest Bidder puzzle in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker saga

gamepur.com:

The Highest Bidder puzzle in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a tricky one that requires, more than anything else, patience. This is because of the awkward, on-off way the game lets you free roam its far-far-away galaxy. So, while you can discover the Highest Bidder puzzle early in Episode VIII – The Last Jedi, you can’t actually get the Crait Outpost password until you’re one level and several objectives deep into Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker.

Travel to Canto Bight on Cantonica and, from the landing pad, head north into the city. Follow the street up the stairs, then turn into the first arched alleyway on the right. Follow this alleyway north, go up more stairs, then turn right at the top. Just around the corner you’ll meet an NPV called Sketchy Scoundrel. Talk to him and he’ll mention a contact at the Crait Outpost, and ask if you have the password. Assuming you don’t have it yet, you’ll have to go to the Crait Outpost to get it. This is where it gets complicated.

You’ll find yourself in the Crait Outpost later in Episode VIII – The Last Jedi, but you won’t be able to switch to the Protocol Droid you need to get the password until after you’ve unlocked Free Play in the Crait Outpost, and to do that, you need to complete the Ground A-salt level. The problem is that Ground A-salt is the last level of Episode VIII – The Last Jedi, so completing it completes the whole episode, which prevents you from free roaming.

The next opportunity you’ll get to free roam will be after A Skip and a Jump (the first level of Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker),
