The hacker would need the TPM in order for him/her to make use of the scenario that was in this article!! See excerpts in the links (Wave VSC 2.0 and Wave ERAS) below which indicates a strong and helpful defense against those in this study (potential hackers) trying to obtain passwords through listening!!

The user experience with a virtual smart card is simple: he or she logs in with a PIN (authentication factor number one). The TPM (authentication factor number two) then transparently identifies the device to the network and connects the user to all the approved services. It’s one less thing for users to carry around.

Token-free, password-free user authentication

We know you’ve dreamt about shredding your list of passwords. Go on and do it.

Because you are starting the authentication process in the device’s hardware, the user doesn’t have to interact with it. All users see is their usual Windows log-in screen – no more additional passwords to access the VPN or other resources. They just sign in once, and the secure credentials in their TPMs securely and quickly connect them to everything they need. Say goodbye to user frustration and slow OS performance.
