Very smart. Keywords even only family would know. Hope it helps. Probably see something life this come to businesses too after the $25 million was transferred to the "CFO".
Create a family "password" to prevent falling for voice clone scams.
Your grandfather receives a call late at night from a person pretending to be you. The caller says that you are in jail or have been kidnapped and that they need money urgently to get you out of trouble. Perhaps they then bring on a fake police officer or kidnapper to heighten the tension. The money, of course, should be wired right away to an unfamiliar account at an unfamiliar bank.

i believe you may be right. it's good malicious social engineering defence. however, the passwords (even if rotated) would be vulnerable due to disgruntled workers. maybe something like a secret validation code stored offline that needs to be simultaneously authenticated by multiple parties but is not visible to the sender or recipient.
Agreed, as well as something passed to each employee in a verbal state. This way, the passcode(s) wouldn't get exfil'd in a breach.
