  • Well he did say authorization picard which I imagine is like unlocking your secret vault with your personal key... I don't think the romulans would be able to say the same thing and get access right?

    • I always assumed it was a type of two-factor auth: voice recognition and passcode.

      • 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
