This is being declined as it would need to be fixed by Apple. There is nothing we can do in the DisplayLink driver to fix this.

If you are affected by this issue, please raise it with Apple at https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/.

How to set up Auto Unlock

1. Make sure that your Mac and Apple Watch meet the system requirements for this feature:
   • Apple Watch using watchOS 3 or later.
   • Mid-2013 or newer Mac using macOS Sierra or later.
     Using Auto Unlock with Apple Watch Series 3 and later requires macOS High Sierra.
2. Make sure that your Apple ID is using two-factor authentication instead of two-step verification.
   Learn how to switch from two-step verification to two-factor authentication.
3. Make sure that your devices are set up as follows:
   • Your Mac has Bluetooth turned on.
   • Your Mac has Wi-Fi turned on.
   • 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 isn't using Internet sharing or screen sharing.
   • Your Mac has ”Allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac” selected in Security & Privacy preferences.
     Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then select the General tab.

I am having the same problem. I made sure screen sharing and internet sharing is completely off, but yet I still see this message. I also see the binoculars icon on my lock screen, and I am not sure why it is showing up there. Please help!

Same here -- it seems using DisplayLink adapter is the issue for me.

I noticed when I disconnect it -- and use the macbook pro by itself -- things work well with iWatch unlock.

But when the DisplayLink Plug and Display is plugged in via USB -- I get the message "Unlocking with Apple Watch is not available while your screen is being shared".

Just a FYI, I was able to resolve this for me by uninstalling the DisplayLink Driver from my system.

I have the same problem and it happened immediately after upgrading to Mojave and installing my eGPU driver (DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for macOS 5.0.1).

I figured that would have been a fix but I really need my DisplayLink driver as I am running three monitors off of a docking station using DisplayLink.

same here. hoping apple resolves this.

Done.

I have the same issue while I have an external USB Display that uses the DisplayLink driver.
