2020 MacBook Pro 13in disabled Apple Pay after update to Big Sur

I did not lower my Secure Boot settings, but after loading Big Sur, I can't use Apple Pay on my "new" MacBook Pro 13 with 4 USB ports. Must I go through "the drill?" This MBP has Touch ID, why the hassle?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

Sorry, I did not describe the problem accurately. I added two credit cards to Apple Pay when I got the machine this past June. After uploading Big Sur (recently), it "unenrolled" my credit cards for Apple Pay, and

it won't let me add cards back without going through a multi-step "recovery" boot process in order to restore some boot settings (which I did not change). Happened after the Big Sur upgrade.


This would be downloading Big Sur.


And so did you follow through w/ multi-step "recovery" boot process in order to restore some boot settings ?

Not yet. I was hoping I had missed some easy fix for the Macs with the T2 chip and not have to fix something I didn't break... like an OS X update that eliminates that hassle. I didn't make any changes to the security settings and the Big Sur update should have precluded the need to go back and restore settings the user didn't change.
