Unable to unlock access to my Apple ID on iPhone

I set up a secondary PIN number to protect my Apple ID (the top part of the settings menus with your photo and access to find my iPhone) in case I ever had my phone stolen. Now I can’t find the settings option that allowed me to input the pin to allow access.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Most of the times this is regulated by screen time. Turn screen time off and see if you can get back in to your Apple ID settings
