And how, exactly, do they distinguish between your voice and someone
playing back a recording of your voice?
The big problem is that this discussion reaches only a very small subset
of their customers - the techies. To have any effect, the stupidity of
this feature needs to be broadcast to the public at large. And getting
publicity for issues like this is something that we techies aren't
terribly skilled at.

Anyone here bank at Fidelity? They are touting a new security feature

without a password. It uses voice recognition to verify your identity.

I declined the feature. Fingerprinting a voice uniquely over a
low-quality telephone line? I can't imagine that's more secure than a
non-obvious password. What does the security crowd here think?
