This happened to me yesterday afternoon and I was looking all over to see whether or not it was just me. Glad to see this to explain it.

Mine got deactivated last night (I’d updated to beta 7 yesterday). Will try to add it again later today. In any case, you should ALWAYS bring your physical one with you.

Tell me how it works or I will never understand
You need FaceID for it to work and you need to be looking at the phone for it to activate.

Just received the alert a few minutes ago. Removed it from my iPhone and watch and added it back. Took verification about 15 minutes to alert me and say it was ready.

Glad it wasn’t just me lol. I updated to DB7 on Monday. Earlier this morning I got a notification about the ID being disabled. I was able to add it back in without an issue though

Just checked mine and it was deactivated. I’d spent months with support trying to get this to work back when it was released on 26.something, and eventually I was told the engineering team couldn’t say why it wasn’t working because of privacy concerns, and basically: too bad, you don’t get to use this feature.

At some point in the 26 cycle I tried again and was able to add it successfully. Hopefully re-adding it works again.
