"allow your apple watch to unlock your MAC" not showing up after turning off two step authentication

"Allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac" disappeared after turning off two factor authentication. I have already turned Two-Factor Authentication back on, on all my Apple devices. What else can be causing "Allow your Apple Watch to unlock you MAC" to not reappear?

Apple Watch Series 2, iOS 11.2.6

Cannot Enable "Use your Apple Watch to unlock apps and your Mac" Due to some rather uninteresting circumstances, I recently had to reset my Apple Watch and restore it to a backup. Since, I have been attempting to enable my Mac's "Auto Unlock" feature where my Apple Watch will unlock it or allow me to authenticate. Each and every time I click the empty checkbox (located in System Preferences > Security & Privacy) to enable, I get the loading indicator and a "turning on" message, eventually followed by this: My Mac supports the feature Both the Watch and Mac are up to date on the software side Apple Watch has a passcode Mac has a passcode The Watch is on my wrist and unlocked Both devices have bluetooth and WiFi turned on I have two-factor authentication enabled on my Apple ID and both devices are signed in to the same account I have no idea why this isn't working. Suggestions?
