Thank you for the reply. Just to make sure that we're on the same page: an Apple Watch can be used to unlock 1Password on your Mac, the feature is not available to unlock 1Password on your iPhone.

If you're unable to unlock 1Password on your Mac using your Apple Watch then are you able to unlock the Mac itself using your Apple Watch? If you are then please try the following steps:

  1. Disable Apple Watch Unlock in 1Password for Mac (1Password > Settings > Security > Uncheck "Apple Watch").
  2. Disable Apple Watch Unlock for your Mac (In the MacOS menu bar:  > System Settings > Touch ID & Password > Uncheck your Apple Watch under "Use your Apple Watch to unlock your applications and your Mac")
  3. Turn off your Mac.
  4. Restart your Apple Watch: Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support
  5. Turn on your Mac.
  6. Enable Apple Watch Unlock in 1Password for Mac (1Password > Settings > Security > Check "Apple Watch").
  7. Enable Apple Watch Unlock for your Mac (In the MacOS menu bar:  > System Settings > Touch ID & Password > Check your Apple Watch under "Use your Apple Watch to unlock your applications and your Mac")

If these steps don't work, or if you're also unable to unlock the Mac itself using the Apple Watch, then please let me know. 🙂
