> How is this any different of a scenario than having the bank manager memorize a password?

Because in the other scenario the bank manager can be killed and the murderer can still use the "key" (the bank manager's lifeless face). Dead or alive the bank manager is still that same person.

With a password there's more security for the bank manager. If the robber kills the manager then the robber can't get in.
