Stolen device protection cannot be disabled because of Face ID

The “protection of a stolen iPhone” function turned on, how to turn it off?? It’s not possible to customise it, as it requires a face id.

In Settings > Face ID and Passcode > Stolen Device Protection, when you are prompted with the Face ID, don’t do it and keep tapping try again. After a few attempts, it will prompt you with entering your passcode. Thus allowing you to turn off Stolen Device Protection.
