I recently updated to Monterey and since then I cannot enable Apple pay on my m1 macbook air. I've even booted to recovery and verified full boot security is enabled, yet I still get the error "Security settings of this mac have been modified". How do I troubleshoot this further?
MacBook, macOS 10.15
I was having the exact same problem on the same MacBook Air M1.
Found this solution online and it worked for me:
Go to System Preferences>Software Update. Click on the "Advanced" button. The last choice: "Install system data files and security updates"...if it is not checked, check it and then see if you can use Apple Pay. If it is already checked, uncheck it (you may have to enter your password or use Touch ID if it's set up), then hit OK and exit that screen. Then go right back in and recheck it and hit OK again.
This simple unchecking and rechecking this box suddenly allowed me to use Apple Pay and add the credit cards to my MacBook Air.
Hope that helps...
Good Luck.

Hello Cartossin,
Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities. We understand that since you upgraded to macOS Monterey you're not able to use Apple Pay due to an alert you're seeing. It sounds like you've already completed the steps in the guide you recently reviewed here: If Apple Pay on your Mac is disabled because security settings were modified
If you have and the issue continues, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support to look into this more with you: Get Support
Thanks again, and take care.
Ahh yes; I should have mentioned I did everything there first. Also I'll point out I have never used a third party VPN, or any device management type application that would do something like this either.
I actually tried this, but I didn't leave the box checked when trying the wallet. When leaving it checked, it magically fixes this issue! Very odd. HT209016 should clarify that this box must remain checked to enable apple pay even if there are no updates available.
Cartossin,
That's really good to know. In that case, we definitely recommend reaching out to Apple Support to look into this more with you.
Cheers.
I'll definitely do that if I don't find the answer elsewhere. I haven't gone deep on google yet.
