Question
In Season 2, Ep 7, the Mandalorian has to take his imperial trooper helmet off in order to have his face scanned by an imperial data terminal.
He is successful in doing it.
How did this happen? His face should not be recognised by any imperial data server.
Answer
My take on this is that this might be part of the scanning process Mayfeld mentioned when they were overlooking the transport route.
"When you get scanned and your genetic signatur shows up on any new-republic register, you're gonna be detected and it's guns out."
Since Mando is not part of these registers (I assume) he could scan his face without tripping the alarm.
I guess as "remnants" of the empire they might not have the possibilities to create a record on each and every one of their troopers/captains/squads/etc., so tapping into republic records to keep unauthorized personel from accessing the terminals is the next best thing. People like Mando being off the records might either be an oversight or a calculated risk.
