How have I hindered official action or lied to a federal agent by providing one of my passwords?

The same way that your child disobeyed you when you say "Go to bed", and they lay in yours and tell you "You didn't say which bed". Clearly, the border agent wasn't asking for the password to your alternate, fake part of the phone, and they aren't likely to be happy if they figure out that you followed your own interpretation of the letter of the order, rather than an interpretation that conforms to the spirit of the order.
