Once MM we tend to answer to the name Hiram.
Yea but EA's are called cautious

I've recently met a Prince Hall Mason and he had no idea of any password, word for a grip, signs, or due guards. However, I was sure that he was definitely legit. But anyways, I know that the teachings of PHA are slightly different, and what I am wondering is if Prince Hall Masons have such signs and due guards. Anybody know?

The words are identical in every jurisdiction I have visited including more than one PHA jurisdiction. The grips are as identical as the teaching brothers can make them. The due guards and signs vary a bit in details of position and order by jurisdiction but they are always close enough to be clear and obvious what they are. I am now in the process of learning a third set of details in my third jurisdiction - I would have to do them in front of you and I might have to point out the differences for them to be noticeable to you.
Either the brother has not been to lodge in so long he's forgotten or he's not sure how to handle recognition issues. I'm guessing the latter of those two. Before exchanging any of those we have to check each others' dues card, make sure neither is a member of a clandestine lodge and so on. He might not know what formalities to check or he might not be current on recognition or he might not be sure his GL is the one on the recognition lists. Simpler still he may be an EA taught to stay cautiously silent until he has learned more.
