Sure, would love to see the designs. That is actually a very similar idea, based on two factor authentication.
>> but it's possible.
Anything is possible.. but if security is your concern, bioauthentication is much more secure than a password. Or proving you are you by.. replying to a text. Anybody could reply to a text, nobody can fake your voice, even if they know your password. Recordings don't generally work (low signal) and are much harder to attain, unless you are the NSA. In which case.. they don't need this anyway.
Security isn't the issue.. usability is. You have to enroll, and there are false negatives... and mainly it is just harder to use than typing.
