Apple Pay disabled because the security settings of this Mac were modified
I'm trying to set up Apple Pay on a new MacBook Air (macOS 10.14.2). I was able to add cards without difficulty — but, when I returned later, in System Preferences, it's telling me that 'Apple Pay has been disabled because the security settings of this Mac were modified'. And I can't get past this to set up Apple Pay.
- Tried removing the cards and adding them again. Won't let me add them at all — same error message.
- My security settings are high. Firewall on. (Tried switching it off: no difference.)
- I followed the advice in this support article (linked to from the error message above). I have the highest level of secure boot settings. (I've tried switching those settings to the lowest setting, rebooting, setting them to the highest setting again, and rebooting again. No change.)
- Latest version of macOS.
- I switched on FileVault, possibly after first adding cards to Apple Pay.
- I have no third-party security software running.
- No other glitches or problems with macOS or iCloud.
- I'm able to use Apple Pay from my iPhone without problem.
Any advice gratefully received!

MacBook Air (2018 or later)
