After turning on stolen device protection, my facial recognition does not work. And I cannot turn stolen device protection off, even with my passcode it does not want to turn off. I am at home - thus a familiar location! Please help!

Thanks for the answer. It wouldn’t allow the passcode to work as my phone thought I was in a strange location…though I was at home - at the same time my facial recognition did not work and could not be re-set. So nothing could be done. I drove a few km and then my l facial recognition suddenly worked again AND the time delay worked to turn the option off. Stolen device protection is obviously riddled with issues. Will never turn it on again.

Use Passcode and disable Stolen Device Protection
See the pic below which is self-explanatory
Probably you have "Always" Ticked in place of "Away from Familiar Location"
For enhanced security, there's a one-hour delay when changing your location settings from "Always" to "Away from Familiar Location." This applies even if you use Face ID for authentication.
A delay will be required when you are not at a familiar location, such as your home or work, to change security settings.
