How can I turn off Stolen Device Protection if Face ID is not working?

Face ID no longer works after activating Stolen Device Protection in iPhone 13. I can’t turn off face id, I cant reset it or add a different appearance and I can’t turn off the stolen device protection. I’ve updated software, backed everything up, there is nothing covering the camera and I did a few hard resets with no luck. This seems to have occurred after the recent software update.

I cant access any of my password settings or reset face ID since it requires face ID and face ID only to make changes. How does that even make sense? If you need to reset face ID or setup alternative face ID why would you make face ID to do so a requirement?

How to Fix Face ID issue after activating Stolen Device Protection?

Yes, even I am facing the same issue since last 1 month. FaceID is not working and shows a service message. But I have observed this issue when I turned on the Stolen Device Protection. And since then the Face ID is not working, and it is also not allowing me to disable or reset the face id.

Has anybody found the solution to this problem?

You need Face ID to fix Face ID. What a terrible idea!

Stop posting these useless solutions to this problem. It's obvious to everyone (except you, apparently) that the problem is caused by Apple engineers not thinking this through when they added this new feature. The solutions you're suggesting don't work, they've been tried already, and they're so basic that any user would have tried them already.

Did anyone figure this out yet??? I am currently going through this problem

How too fix Face ID issue after activating stolen device protection

The same thing happened to me. Apple forced me to change my password, and now my Face ID is broken. I can't reset it without using Face ID. This is a ridiculously broken system.

I Activated Stoplen Device Protection on my phone and Suddenly the Screen Broke, So After changing it, I can’t Use my Face ID, i can Even Rest the Face ID and I can’t even logout my iCloud to restart my phone, please what should I do, it’s 3 days Already.

My Face ID is not working cause my stolen device protection is on

and I need to get on some app that is very important to me

First of all, wipe the glass in front of the camera and see if it works! If it doesn't proceed to the below section

1. Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode
2. Enable Face ID with a Mask
3. Click on Add glasses.
4. When you try to add glasses a couple of times, it will initiate a 'Security delay' option
5. Go ahead and click OK, and a 1-hour security delay will start.
6. After the security delay, you will get a notification to enroll an alternate appearance (Face ID)

My phone has not been worked on .. it JUST started doing this today out of the blue! I can not get into anything can not change anything and it is so stupid that this can not be fixed!!

it just happened to my phone rn it not allowing me to see my passwords and face id not work

Where are the answers/ solutions. All I see is a massive list of the same issues but not answers? Thanks
