Sign In Security

4 days ago my apple devices asking Face Id & Passcode when i switch into Apple Id from another account. This wasn't happening for the last 4 years in same app. There is no change/turn off settings under Sign In tab. Do I have to turn off every security (Face Id, Passcode)? Apple is doing bad developments recently. This is pushing 15 yearly customer off method.

Are you using Stolen Device Protection on your iPhone? This is off by default, but when you turn it on, it will require Face ID authentication in certain situations.
