Chicken-egg problem: my Touch ID stopped working, but "Stolen Device Protection" won't let me fix it
Got a chicken-egg problem with my iPhone (SE 2020; 17.3 (21D50).) I turned on Stolen Device Protection, and then, some time later, Touch ID stopped working (IDK why; it just doesn't recognize my thumbs any more.) So I want to fix Touch ID (by deleting and re-adding my existing fingers, or adding a new finger). But I can't change Touch ID, because Stolen Device Protection doesn't trust my PIN; it requires that I authenticate via Touch ID (which doesn't work.) A solution would be temporarily to disable Stolen Device Protection, then fix Touch ID, then re-enable Stolen Device Protection. But Stolen Device Protection won't let me disable it, without me authenticating via Touch ID. Has anyone figured out how to fix this problem?
