Unlock with Apple Watch disappears

Hi,

I am on a Mac mini (Late 2018) and have Apple Watch Series 6.
I updated macOS Big Sur to 11.3 and my Apple Watch to 7.4 today.

Now, when Apple Watch is requesting to unlock with Apple Watch, I see the message dialog on Mac and hear/feel the request on my Watch.
But it immediately disappears and I cannot unlock.

It has been working before the update.
That's why I think, Apple might have changed something. Can someone see a similar behavior?

Best


1Password Version: 7.8.1 (1Password Store)
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 10.3
Sync Type: Dropbox

    Hi @phoefler!

    But it immediately disappears and I cannot unlock.

    Do you mean that it disappears from your Mac or from your Watch?

    @ag_ana thanks for your fast reply.

    Both, I see the message box on macOS and the unlock screen on my Watch, but both disappears in <1s - no chance to double click on
    the Watch side button.

    @phoefler:

    Thank you for the confirmation! To make sure we are covering the basics, can you try suggestions number 2 and 3 in the Get Help section of this documentation page? Number 1 is already covered, since it looks like you are already running the latest version of the 1Password for Mac app :+1:

    It seems, that it is not a 1Password related problem.
    I found out, that unlocking macOS was also not working.

    I disabled the option to unlock macOS with Apple Watch, restarted my Mac and re-enabled it.
    Now I can unlock macOS and 1Password again.

    Never mind, thanks for your help.

    You are welcome @phoefler! I am glad to hear that everything is working as expected once again :)

    If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out anytime.

    Have a wonderful day :)

    I had the same issue as @phoefler: The "unlock" prompt window popped up and disappeared almost instantly, and I never got a prompt on my Apple Watch. I was able to resolve it because of this thread:

    1. Went to System Preferences:: Security & Privacy:: General (tab)
    2. Unchecked "Use Apple Watch to unlock apps and your Mac:" for my watch
    3. Shut down and booted,
    4. Re-enabled in above location

    Unlocking 1Password with my Watch works again.

    (on macOS Big Sur 11.4 and watchOS 7.5)

    That's great news that you're happy using 1Password again. Let us know if the issue happens to return.

    To be clear, I was still happy about 1password: it was my Watch I was frustrated with. ;-)
