Apple Watch Unlock not unlocking
Hi
In the Preferences for 1Password I have checked "Unlock using Apple Watch". So when I wish to use a password I go through the procedure to unlock with my watch. The watch does respond with the ...
I've recently experienced an interesting and new problem with  Watch Unlock on 1P8 on macOS (for SSH agents) - after upgrading my iPhone to the new 14 Pro Max, when 1P8 kicks my Watch to ask me to double-tap to confirm, the watch immediately closes the request, before I have a chance to tap.
The largest impact for me is that the SSH Agent functionality breaks entirely and I can't log in to hosts without disabling Apple Watch in 1P8.
The above recommended steps to remediate the issue work for a few hours, maybe a day, but, eventually break again -- it's not just 1P8 that has the problem though, it's the entire macOS -> Watch pairing. So if I do something that requires root permission and the system would normally prompt me to confirm via my Watch, that, too, is immediately shown and closed before I could tap the button.
But, as I say, disabling the Watch authorisation in 1P8 and macOS, shutting down, removing power cord (MacPro 2019), restarting, re-enabling, seems to let things work for a while. But once it breaks, it won't work again until the above steps are followed. Frustrating!
