Stolen Device Face ID not recognized

My iphone is not recognizing my face ID. I tried to reset it, but it is requiring me to disable Stolen Device Protection in order to do so. I am unable to disable Stolen Device Protection because it requires me to authenticate with Face ID which, as I said, isnt recognizing my face.


iPhone 14 Plus

See the pic below which is self-explanatory



Probably you have "Always" Ticked in place of "Away from Familiar Location"


For enhanced security, there's a one-hour delay when changing your location settings from "Always" to "Away from Familiar Location." This applies even if you use Face ID for authentication.



A delay will be required when you are not at a familiar location, such as your home or work, to change security settings.
