Face ID not recognizing me iPhone 12 Stolen Device Protection.

I’ve updated my iPhone but Face ID still doesn’t recognize me even outside of the app in trying to use with a passkey.


I also accidentally set Stolen Device Protection to “Always.” while I was tired. Now I can’t change the security settings because Face ID isn’t working, even though I know my iPhone passcode.


Is there a way to fix Face ID or regain access to these settings without erasing my iPhone?
