Right now, since you're not at home, there will be a list of things that require Face ID. If your Face ID scan is not working then you cannot do those things - I don't believe Apple support will be able to do anything.

If someone stole your device and force reset it, it would still be signed into your iCloud account.
Even if they watched you type your password, they couldn't use that password to sign out of iCloud because of Stolen Device Protection. That's the purpose of the protection.

When you are at home (etc.) you can reset Face ID with just your password.
When you are away from home, you cannot reset Face ID without a successful Face ID scan + 1 hour delay.
While frustrating, I'm not sure how a casual thief could break this?

Ah, I see - you cannot modify the location list. Without Face ID, there is no way to disable stolen device protection except to return home and try again.

I just tested and I was able to turn off Stolen Device Protection without a Face ID scan (covered the camera). After it's off then you can go and make any changes you want.

Reading the guidelines on Apple's website, it should not require a FaceID scan *if* you're at a "Familiar Location" such as your home. Looking at the section titled "Security Delay" at the bottom of this page:

The title should make it clear you're testing the 2026 Solterra - the plug has nothing to do with the test you ran, so it sounds like you're testing a Supercharger.
