Watch does not approve password requests
My Watch 8 will auto unlock my iMac running Venture 13.2.1 but the double click feature on the Watch to approve password requests by Safari will not work.

Hello spdsail,
If you're unable to approve requests with your watch, make sure everything is enabled for it: Unlock your Mac and approve requests with Apple Watch
You'll also want to make sure you've covered the basics like restarting the devices and making sure they're up to date.
If it's still not working, you'll want to contact Apple to report the issue: Get Support
Cheers!

Hi there spdsail,
Thanks for giving those a try! Since those steps didn't clear it up, working directly with Apple will definitely be the best next step: Get Support
Kindest regards.
I had already enabled unlocking my Mac and approving requests but went through the sequence again. The macOS and Watch OS were current. I then tried your suggestions to restart the Mac and Watch but had no success. Next step is to contact Apple for support. Thank for your suggestions.
