Ask HN: Voice ID adoption at financial institutions

2 pointsby mmd45about 1 year ago
Given the inevitability of easy voice cloning[1], it seems irresponsible to be using voice as a positive authentication signal.<p>Unfortunately, major US financial institutions seem to be ramping up adoption of this technology[2].<p>Am I missing something?<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;myshell-ai&#x2F;OpenVoice<p>[2] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.schwab.com&#x2F;voice-id<p>[3] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fidelity.com&#x2F;security&#x2F;fidelity-myvoice&#x2F;overview

TD bank uses your voice as an authentication test. When calling in, if you pass the voice test you don&#x27;t need to answer further security questions.

voice ID adoption won&#x27;t work anyways, its not a secure way. consider a person has throat infection, his voice will obviously be deep due to the infection. if we spare that as well, openAI has launched a voice clone AI. Those who are using it now will eventually change it.
