Q: Unlock Sierra with Apple watch on another Apple ID

Hi All,

 

Since Mac OS Sierra it is possible to unlock your MacBook with your Apple Watch. I would like to unlock my work MacBook with my Apple Watch, my Apple Watch is connected with my private apple id though.

 

     Is there a setting in MacOS where I can adjust the Apple ID for this only?

     Or the other way around, update my apple ID for my operating system but keep my work apple ID in there for communication and data apps?

 

Here's my situation:

     1 Private Iphone

     1 Private MacBook (Unlocking with my Watch already)

     1 Private Apple Watch

     1 Private apple ID

 

     1 Work Iphone

     1 Work MacBook

     1 Work apple ID

 

I know I could connect all devices to 1 apple ID but I don't want my Imessage, Facetime and Icloud to combine work and private data.

 

Thanks everybody!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12)
