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 little vibration and asks me to click twice. So, I click twice on the Apple watch but nothing happens with 1Password, I just have to enter the master password anyway.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about this one?
Thank you.
1Password Version: 7.9..4
Extension Version: 2.3.2
OS Version: Mac OS 12.3.1

HI there, I have an M1 Mac and gone through the restart procedure several times as above. I can unlock my Mac with my watch but not 1password V8. It was working fine with V7. Everything is fully up to date patch wise and 1password shows the icon for watch unlock but no message makes it to the watch.

Hi @MaxwellT
Thanks for providing that information. Your Mac is compatible with Apple Watch unlock. If you've tried resetting the Apple Watch Unlock settings in your 1Password and Mac preferences and this hasn't helped, then can you give the steps listed in Alvin's previous post a try?
- Disable Apple Watch Unlock in 1Password for Mac (1Password 7 > Preferences > Security > Uncheck "Apple Watch").
- Disable Apple Watch Unlock for your Mac (In the MacOS menu bar: > System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Uncheck "Use your Apple Watch to unlock apps and your Mac")
- Check to make sure that MacOS is fully up to date How to update the software on your Mac - Apple Support
- Reset the SMC for your Mac: How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support
- Restart your Mac normally one more time (If you have more than one Mac connected to your iCloud account, do not proceed to the next step until you've updated each one to the latest version of macOS.)
- Enable Apple Watch Unlock for your Mac (In the MacOS menu bar: > System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Check "Use your Apple Watch to unlock apps and your Mac")
- Enable Apple Watch Unlock in 1Password (1Password 7 > Preferences > Security > Check "Apple Watch").
Let me know if this helps and if not we can take it from there 🙂

I have been able to open 1Password with my watch until recently.
