Keys

Sorry to read this situation happened to you. I thought locking the keyfob inside the Passport was almost impossible to do since the vehicle will unlock itself if it detects that keyfob anywhere inside the Passport. Even if you manually lock the doors using the door controls on your way out the vehicle will automatically unlock if Passport detects fob inside.
Page 143 of Owners Manual states:
■ Lockout prevention system
The doors and tailgate cannot be locked when
the smart entry remote is inside the vehicle.

Perhaps you can take the key from the second keyfob and find a place to "hide" it (magnetic key retainers are readily available)?
Remember that most thiefs also look in those 'typical' hiding places, too.

So I just had a devastating experience being a single woman with my car. I took my car to a car wash and accidentally locked my phone and keys in the vehicle.

Ugh! I waited for my insurance roadside assistance which was a joke. I was still waiting after 4 hours.

So my question is...what do you suggest?

Have a hidden compartment under the wheel well?
I never want to be in this situation again. I am so grateful for the young man at McDonald's that allowed me to use his phone...and brought me water.

I need to ask a question: So if the lockout prevention system keeps the doors and tailgate from being locked when the key is inside the car, does this mean that anyone can open your car while you are inside? So you cannot lock the doors?

Nope. I thought so too. I definitely got locked out! Waited for three and a half hours while it turned dark and cold....when the car wash shut down and had to go to the McDonald's next door. A sweet young man allowed me to use his phone because he saw me crying at that point. I had to eventually call another company.

I have State Farm insurance and although they have been good at that side, their roadside assistance sucks big time!! Never again.

I have tried to lock the fob in the car and it is possible. I checked to make sure it's locked by trying to open the doors while one fob is in the car and the second is in the house. Sure enough...it was locked, the only way to het back in was to get the fob out of the house.

Just tried mine and would not lock with my fob in the car. I do have the walk away auto lock selected and it did lock when I went back in the house. I also open the door and hit the lock button on the door and shut it. Soon as I grabbed the door handle on the outside it unlocked.
So I was unsuccessful in locking my key fob in my car!
