How was David's security code still active in Alien-Covenant?
DAVID 73694-B
I'm guessing the security system could still have his security access code at that point. But why would they (the crew/company/organization) still kept it active?
Do people actually do this in real life? For example, an IT admin at a company leaves for some reason (end of contract/retired/fired) and comes back later. Would he find himself still able to access the whole system with his old assigned credentials?
Is this a flaw in the movie or a plot device?
The discussion at this link suggests David was able to upload himself into Walter.

David Uploaded His Programming into Walter...
You will recall that Daniels stabs David in the chin with the nail pendant that she wears. Note that the android that is aboard the ship at the end of the movie bears no such scar, indicating that the android chassis is that of Walter. However, it is clear that David's A.I. now resides in the chassis of Walter once they are back on board the Covenant.
David's programming was either uploaded into Walter, or Walter's programming was "rolled back" to that of David, in a similar way that you can roll back MS Windows to a prior state after a software upgrade.
Best Answer
Mother is installed in all of Wayland Corp ships and David's code was never deactivated. He would have the highest level of clearance being Peters Prodigy creation and able to work on any Wayland ship.

Is Walter actually David in alien Covenant?
And the twist is only further telegraphed later in the movie when \u201cWalter\u201d (but really David) watches with anticipation as the xenomorph hunt occurs aboard the Covenant. Obviously, David was curious to see if his perfect creature could best a species he already holds as inferior to himself.What does David do at the end of alien Covenant?
When the film ends, viewers can see that the ship is heading to its final destination with David on the top of it all. Proving that he was right about himself and also triggering Alien Awakening. Also, he has control over everything and will create his own alien species on the new planet.How did David Replace Walter?
The simplest explanation is that David stabs Walter to death or incapacity (decapitated). Then changes clothes before finally severing his hand off with the knife. This Scene David inputs a Code that relays a Order, and MUTHUR then refers to him as David.The Complete Story of David: King of Israel
