Hello Thorz! 👋

I'm sorry that you're having trouble using your Apple Watch to unlock 1Password. If you also use Touch ID then, when the Apple Watch option isn't presented are you still able to use Touch ID to unlock 1Password instead? Or are you forced to enter your account password?

Can you also check to see how often 1Password will require that you enter your account password into the app:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
  2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
  3. Click on Settings.
  4. Click on Security.
  5. What is "Require password" set to?

Even with Apple Watch unlock enabled you'll still need to enter your account password into the app every 2 weeks if "Require password" is set to "Every 2 weeks".

I look forward to hearing from you.
