Q: NO Auto-Unlock on MacBook Air
Hi all
Why? Because I don't see the in System Preferences ->Security & Privacy -> “Allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac.”
The mask is just as it was before Sierra.
MacBook Air 13" mid 2011 - Sierra 10.12
Has this something to do with the fact I already set this preference on my iMac this morning?
Thank you in advance

Your macBook Air does not qualify for that feature, sorry. You need a mac mid 2013 or newer.
See the requirements here: Automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch
Use Auto Unlock with any Mac and Apple Watch that meets the Continuity system requirements:
- Apple Watch (1st generation), Apple Watch Series 1, or Apple Watch Series 2 using iOS 10
- Mid-2013 or newer Mac using macOS Sierra
Make sure that your devices are set up as follows:
- Your Mac has both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on.
- Your Apple ID is using two-factor authentication.
- Your Mac and Apple Watch are signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
On your Mac, choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then go to General > Apple ID.- Your Apple Watch is using a passcode.
On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then tap Passcode.- Your Mac has ”Allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac” selected in Security & Privacy preferences.
