Quick update to the above. Would you mind checking that your Mac is a model that supports Unlock With Apple Watch? Here's what to do:
- Click the  Apple menu > About This Mac
- You'll see your Mac's model name. It'll be its full model name, rather than a number, so it'll look like
MacBook Air, M1, 2020
or similar. - Check to see if your Mac appears in the list below of supported models:
- iMac Pro (2017 and newer)
- iMac (27-inch 2020 and newer)
- MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (2016 and newer)
- MacBook Pro (2018 and newer)
- MacBook Air (2018 and newer)
- Mac mini (2018 and newer)
- Mac Pro (2019 and newer)
- Mac Studio
These models of Mac feature a Secure Enclave, which is Apple's security chip that allows us to store the secret required to unlock 1Password with an Apple Watch. You may well be able to unlock your Mac itself without a Secure Enclave, but other apps, including 1Password, need a Secure Enclave to support this.
Let me know what you find. :)
