Q: Apple Watch Unlocking Mac Setup Frustration
I own a first generation Apple Watch and a 13" Late 2013 MacBook Pro and latest mac mini (i5). I have gone through the complete setup process to have my watch unlock my MacBook several times. (All the way through) When I get to chose "Allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac" button, it spins for a while and then I get the "Unable to communicate with Apple Watch" prompt. It seems to be finding my watch because if I try and leave the Apple Watch locked, it will tell me to unlock and try again. Happens on MacBook Pro and mac mini the same way.
I've tried to research this problem and have tried everything from resetting the two-factor authentication to tuning all settings off and back on again.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Apple Watch, watchOS 3
