Apple watch no longer unlocks my Mac
Since macOS update 15.1.1 and iOS update 18.1.1 my Apple Watch will no longer unlock my Mac. Why is that? I tried the method another user had recommended, but it didn't work for me.
Mac Studio, macOS 15.1

Thanks for your help, WheelieNick. I did find an article on the Mac Observer, by Jeff Gamet, that addressed this directly. The article dates from 2018, so I had to update it to reflect Apple Settings on the Sequoia macOS, but after I did that, and applied it, it worked like a charm. Apple Watch unlocks my Mac again!
Please provide a link to Jeff Gamet's 2018 article. I have the same problem.
