My Watch no longer unlocks my Mac. When I try to set this up in Prefs, it tells me the watch needs to be logged in to iCloud. How do I do that?

I don't see a way to log the watch in to iCloud (ultimately I want to restore the watch's ability to unlock my Mac).


Apple Watch, watchOS 4

You can make sure your Apple Watch is signed into your Apple ID in the Watch app. Tap General > Apple ID and make sure that your Apple Watch is signed into the same Apple ID as your Mac. If you're unable to sign into your Apple ID on your Apple Watch, try restoring your Apple Watch.
