Hello and welcome to the community 🤗


If you can’t unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch



  • If the option is on but the option off and then on. (This will maybe resolve the problem)


  • Made sure that the connection between your Mac and Apple Watch is good (to see that when you unlock your Mac you well see a message) If the connection is not good made sure that your iPhone, Apple Watch and your Mac are near.


  • Made sure that you unlock your Mac one time after restarting. (You well see a message that you need to unlock your Mac to activate this option)


Made sure your Mac, iPhone and Apple Watch are updated
