Hi everyone!Recently, I bought my first Apple Watch. Since macOS Sierra (I believe) you should be able to unlock your Mac using your Apple Watch. This feature can be turned on other settings > security & Privacy > general, but I don't see a button to turn it on anywhere. Does someone know how to fix this? I do have 2 step verification and hand-off turned on for that matter.Thanks in advance!I am trying to get this work with a (2017) MacBook Air & Apple Watch (series 4)

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Check out this article: https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT206995

Make sure you're logged into the same iCloud account on both, and that you have a passcode enabled. The article describes all the requirements although it hasn't been updated for the series 4 yet.
