Hello~ This is from the article you came from…


*Security Delay

With Stolen Device Protection, you may also be required to wait an hour before using your iPhone to make changes to critical security settings or your Apple ID. If your iPhone is not in a familiar location, you must authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID, wait for the security delay to end, then authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID again to update settings such as the following: 

  • Change your Apple ID password
  • Sign out of your Apple ID
  • Update Apple ID account security settings (such as adding or removing a trusted device, Recovery Key, or Recovery Contact)
  • Add or remove Face ID or Touch ID
  • Change your iPhone passcode
  • Reset All Settings
  • Turn off Find My 
  • Turn off Stolen Device Protection

If you use your iPhone to change your Apple ID password, the location of your devices may not be visible at iCloud.com for a period of time. 


Your device may end the security delay early after it detects that you’ve arrived at a familiar location.
