Even ISPs do this where I am. You don't have to utter anything specifically but if they detect your voice being drastically different from what they have on file, they'll lock you out before you even talk to a real person. Not sure how I feel about it tbh
what the hell does an ISP want with that, that's nuts
I guess it's mostly for their cell services to avoid SIM jacking and stuff. But I agree
So don't call them if you've got the flu or anything.
