I have tried to disable security delay for the last 5 hours and it keeps starting over every time the security delay itself runs it’s course. This is more than annoying! How to I get rid of it?
It’s also telling me I’m not in a familiar location, and I’m literally the same place I always am.

You will need to turn OFF Stolen Device Protection.
Open Settings ➡️ Face ID & Passcode ➡️ (Enter your Passcode) ➡️ Stolen Device Protection: Set this switch to OFF.

I made the horrible mistake of enabling this feature. I had to change things three times that required this in the last two weeks. I start the task, I literally work from home, registered the phones at my home and it says it does not recognize the location every time. Which means an hour which really means much more since you do other things while waiting. It doesn’t work and is insane to disable. Great concept, horrible execution. I still don’t know how to disable it. I just bought another timer that goes off to let me know this timers done so I can do what I need to do.
Same problem. When I try to turn off stolen device protection, I get a message saying I have to wait an hour. Even though I’m at my home location listed in Apple Maps. I get a message after an hour, but it doesn’t allow me to do anything. Going around and around in circles.
I already tried that it said I have to wait an hour
Same issue here, i have a colleague, who did an ios update and now this annoyance turns up when i try to setup an email account with the apple mail app, and choosing "microsoft exchange" and other mail method works.
as everyone here, we just cant get pass the security delay.
this is a bug and it needs to be fixed ASAP, pretty please

What happened after you waited an hour? Were you able to do it then?
The same thing happens with me! I AM LITERALLY AT MY HOUSE I THINK I’M PRETTY FREAKING SAFE?! 🤨
"Face ID & Passcode" is not an available option
Any suggestions?
FYI.. I have not received any notification. I tried 4 or 5 times. In addition, it recognizes my face. That should immediately negate the delay. You know it's me. You just scanned my face.
Interesting.
Thanks for the follow-up.
There’s some consensus that this still-new functionally still has some “maturing” to do.
Hi, I had the same problem what I did is just wait to get a notification when the timer is over and only then you can turn it off. And you have to be at home! I hope it helps❤️
To this member’s knowledge, if the phone is requiring your FaceID, and the FaceID is inoperative …
… your ONLY option is to completely reset the phone and restore from a backup.
If you forgot your iPhone passcode, use your Mac or PC to reset it - Apple Support
Then you'll just have to wait the 35 minutes out.
So wait your hour, receive the system notification, and turn the feature “off.”
