True. Remember that time Data took over the Enterprise D by impersonating Picard's voice? That should've been the end of voice-print identification.

Indeed. I forget if the authorization codes were introduced into the show after that or were already established.

Either way, that episode highlighted why Starfleet ships shouldn't have sudoers files like this:

%sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
