stuck on verifying security response

My phone has been stuck on [Verifying Security Response] for hours. Any ideas on how to remedy? I'm unable to turn off, restart, or unlock my phone.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Does not work. Oddly enough it did work yesterday on my wife's iPhone but today it happened again and I have repeatedly gone through the 3 steps, even holding down the power key for 10 minutes. The Apple logo never appeared. I see other people have had the same issue. This is not a nuisance problem - a person cannot open their phone and use it. Clearly this is an OS issue.
