[Discuss] Fidelity voice-recognition security?



Anyone here bank at Fidelity? They are touting a new security feature
called "MyVoice" that opens up telephone access to your accounts
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?
