I was always bothered by the scene in #StarTrek II when they used Reliant's prefix code. The input device they used made absolutely no sense from an electronics (or user interface) standpoint.
It just recently occurred to me though that it makes absolute sense from a quick and dirty movie prop standpoint.

Maybe we can assume that there was some kind of additional layer of authentication behind the scenes, such as voiceprints based on the pronunciation of the digits...or coming in on a channel encrypted with Starfleet protocols, etc.
The computer certainly had to set up the codes so the crew could just throw the switches.
