Hi abcd_bruce,
Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you are wanting to set up the Auto Unlock feature on your MacBook Pro. This is an exciting new feature and I'll be happy to help you with this.
It sounds like you have done some steps already in order to help get this step up. In this article, Automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch, it goes over all the steps that needs to be done in order to set up this up. If you have already followed all those steps and are still experiencing issues, then the next step would be to boot the Mac into safe mode and then check to see if you are able to see the Apple Watch setting show up in the Security and Privacy Preferences.
Try safe mode if your Mac doesn‘t finish starting up
Have a great night!
