why am i not able to approve from my apple watch for unlocking notes and seeing passwords?

Hey tamil1106,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I understand you're not able to use your Apple Watch features as expected. I definitely want to make sure you're able to get the most from your Apple Watch, and being able to approve tasks from it is definitely a great feature!

To start, I recommend taking a look at the resource below. This goes over how to set it up so you can use your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac, and approve tasks from it.

Unlock your Mac and approve tasks with Apple Watch

Thanks again, and have a great day!

It's extremely annoying when I get a screen alert asking to verify with my Apple Watch, but I'm unable to do so. The option in the link provided by Alex_h1 is not helpful at all, as my watch is not available from system preferences. It really shouldn't be this difficult!

This, along with all the other issues with HomeKit and Siri is making me reconsider the huge investments I've made with apple.

It may be time for a different option to my spending.
