Turn off stolen device protection

Hello! I got a nose surgery before month ago and now I can not turn off my stolen device protection so I can change my face ID. Please help me. I don’t want to reset my phone.

If you have Stolen Device Protection set to Away From Familiar Locations: When you are prompted with Face ID authentication, keep tapping Try Again, after a few tries you will be prompted with entering your passcode. Thus starting the 1 hour security delay for turning it off.


If you have Stolen Device Protection set to Always: Sign onto iCloud.com/find with your Apple Account credentials, find your iPhone in your List of Devices, select Remove from Account. This will remove Find My and also Stolen Device Protection. Then turn Find My back on and leave Stolen Device Protection off.
