1Password Apple Watch Unlock Not Reliable
I posted a related thread that previously raised this issues as part of the problem but that thread is now closed.
I have moved to using only Production builds as was recommended but I continue to...
Dave, good morning, I hope you are enjoying the long weekend in Canada.
I preformed the text that you requested and note the following:
a) I was not able to use the Apple Watch to authenticate the macOS system prompt.
b) I then tested whether I able to use the Apple Watch to unlock other applications (i.e., Quicken for macOS, etc.). I was not able to do so.
c) I then tested whether my Apple Watch was able to unlock my MBP which normally works. I was not able to do so.
I next went to System Settings -> Touch ID & Password -> Apple Watch and toggled the switch for my Apple Watch Ultra off -> on. The Apple Watch was then able to authenticate / unlock everything.
With the above noted I am assuming you will respond that it is a macOS / watchOS problem rather a specific 1Password problem.
Worth noting, it is a shame that at the Apple Watch authentication is not reliable whereas the Apple Keyboard with Touch ID is reliable (i.e., I have never had a problem using it).
Look forward to your response.
