Explanation

Biometric authentication uses unique physical or behavioral characteristics of a person to verify identity. A voiceprint (voice recognition) is a behavioral biometric-it measures the unique characteristics of a person's voice.

Other biometric examples include fingerprints, retina scans, and facial recognition.
