How do I remove a device from my Apple ID account without having access to the device?

hello there, yesterday I sold my iPhone XR and forgot to reset the phone. The person who bought it said that he couldn’t reset it because Find my device was turned on. To erase or to change Face ID on that phone, it requires my Face ID. Is there a way to reset this with Lock Screen’s or Apple ID’s password?

Note that removing Find My does not actually require you to take back possession of the phone. You can do it remotely. Have a look at: Activation Lock for iPhone and iPad - Apple Support ) and Find My ( iCloud+ - Find My - Apple ),
