You'd have to be real ignorant of technology to accept any form of voice or face recognition to gain access to anything - even your phone.
Use a code or a pattern, everyone. This is to protect you from bad cops as much as it is to protect you from bad criminals.
I'm actually really annoyed I can't do two factor on my phone (e.g. Fingerprint + password).
I had to call into my bank recently and had to listen through what was effectively an ad to sign up for their voice authentication service. All the while I'm thinking, "How dare you implement this crap when you don't even support TOTP or security keys."
Fortunately mine does both. I use Fidelity as my "bank" mostly because they offer Symantec VIP, which is at least a form of TOTP.
