Apple Watch 10 does not unlock MacBook when the lock screen is on I unpaired my Apple Watch 5 and removed it from my account. I paired my new Apple Watch 10 with my iPhone. When my MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 enters the sleep mode, I can unlock it by pressing any button on the keyboard and my Watch unlocks my Mac. If the lock screen is on, my Watch does not unlock my Mac when I come to it.
