Why did David use his real name instead of Walter's to get the access to the spaceship?
In Alien: Covenant (2017) we can see two android robots that look the same. The robots' names are David and Walter. David was already on the alien planet when robot Walter (and others) came to the planet.
Towards the end of the movie, why did David use his real name instead of Walter's to get the access to the colonists (spaceship)?
Best Answer
David is using his personal access code. As the personal android of the Owner of Weyland Corp ("The Company") he likely had high level access to any ship or system owned by the company.
Also he would likely not know Walter's codes, as he would need to extract them before taking Walter's place.

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.Who was good David or Walter?
Well, at least we thought he was Walter. At the very end of the film, just as Daniels is going back into cryo-sleep, Walter reveals himself to actually be David (both played by Michael Fassbender), informing us that in the battle between brothers, the wrong one won.How did David impersonate Walter?
David likely killed Walter, removed his own hand and switched clothes with his synthetic brother. He then took a one way trip off of \u201cParadise\u201d with embryotic tokens of his work in his synthetic tummy.The REAL REASON Why WALTER Changed His Name
