But... Where are you looking? TXACPHRA? Or TXAIPHRA? The offsets are different for the Init and Change cases. 2) How can the PASSWORD and PASSPHRASE functions be driven? > I've tried various TSS commands but none of them drive either exit. > In my experience the most reliable exit point to use for just about everything in TSS is the Security File Change one. This has potential pointers to a lot of useful stuff, including the command text (if there is a command, and even in one case if there isn't one!), old and new passwords and phrases, and more. To differentiate passwords from phrases, you need to look at the 1-byte Recovery File code - take care as some of them are lower case (e.g. h and H mean different things), and there are also different codes for phrases and "long passwords". Depending on the code, there may be a pointer to the RACROUTE parameter list, from which you can find the password or phrase. Unfortunately if it was a command, you may have to parse it yourself. But of course this won't help you if you want to examine a new password or phrase and possibly reject it, because it's too late.
