Leeway -- the degrees of deviations allowed for a match -- is just one of the more easily quantifiable factors. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/human-voices-are-unique-but-were-not-that-good-at-recognizing-them/ Any biometric system can be spoofed. This is as much a tautology as "any password can be cracked". The difference, ideally, is that a specific password can be cracked by anyone with sufficient power but spoofing a specific voice requires a willing twin sibling with similar enough habits (eating, drinking, smoking, exposure to atmospheric pollution, injuries or lack thereof, etc) to force a match. I don't see (hear?) voice spoofing to be a credible threat except in rare circumstances. Or financial executives cutting corners on security in order to maximize their personal wealth. -- Rich P.
