Can't change my passcode after upgrading to iOS 16.6

I just upgraded my phone to iOS 16.6, but now I cannot find the option to change my phone's passcode (can't find Face ID & Passcode in Settings). Anyone else has this too?

How to change iPhone 14 passcode I want to change the passcode. I have not forgotten it, and I don't want to restore my phone. On-line instructions tell me to go to settings, and choose "Face ID & Passcode". But there is NO such menu option under settings. I have temporarily lost the use of one hand, so I can no longer hold the phone and put in my passcode. I would also like to add more face IDs because it can't seem to recognize me many times. But those settings are no longer under Privacy -- no place.... I'm on an iphone 14 IOS 16.3.1
