Stored FaceID account username and password

I was looking for a solution to the issue where a FaceID is stored but there is a new account ant you want to use FaceID with the new account. The answers avail had nothing to do with the question.

Even deleting the stored password in passwords under setting does not remove the FaceID stored info and it will still try to log you in with the old info.


The remedy is to go to the settings in the app or on the website in question and disable the FaceID there. Once disabled, you can re-enable and the info that was stored will drop off. This allows you to set up a new FaveID with the updated account info. I could not find this info anywhere on these forums.
