Unlock with Apple Watch Not an Option on New Mac Studio I just migrated from my 2020 iMac to a new M2 Max Mac Studio (running Sonoma 14.6.1). Everything transferred over easily with the Migration Assistant, however I no longer see an option to unlock my Mac with my Apple Watch, which I used to do with my iMac. I looked for the feature under Privacy & Security and Lock Screen and don't see a way to enable it. I've tried rebooting the Mac and my watch as well, and they are both logged into the same iCloud account. Any ideas on a fix?
