I work for a huge bank and we tested voice recognition technology: Even under the best circumstances (high quality microphone with no ambient noise in a sound booth), it was far, far too easy to copy someone else's voice by simply playing back a sliced up recording a la Sneakers (the movie). We ruled it out as an option over a decade ago.

The problem was fundamental and had nothing to do with the quality of the technology. If your bank is using your voice as a unique identifier they had better be using something else in addition to it! Because it's super insecure.

    There are other criteria like account number, etc. But the voice they ask you specific question live. But I get it. Thats why I have a hardware key for platforms that support it.
