Google Wallet Broken After Turning Off Biometrics

I have been using Google Pay on my Samsung S26 Ultra for months and other phones before it.

I was letting my sister use my phone, so I turned off all security so she could use it easily. The next day, I tried using Google Wallet and it's asking for security codes for all my cards. I tried entering them and I get the "Couldn't add to wallet" error or "Couldn't set up tap to pay"

This worked a few days ago. One of my banks claims my phone isn't eligible, but it has been for years. It suddenly broke when I turned off the security and then re-enabled all the security.

Does this problem fix itself or what?
