Unlocking MacBook Pro with Watch

Hello PastorLarryHarald,

It sounds like you are unable to unlock your MacBook Pro with your Apple Watch. We understand how important this is to you and we are here to help.

Let's verify all of the settings and requirements are met from this article: Unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch

If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? Which watchOS and macOS version are you currently using? Which Apple Watch do you currently have?

Cheers!

Larry,

Thank you for those details.

Let's test in a new user account to see if the same thing happens: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac

This will help us determine if the issue is user account specific.

Good Luck!

Larry,

Thank you for those details.

Next, let's unpair your Apple Watch and set up as new. A backup will be created when you unpair:

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch

Once that is completed, test to see if the issue persists.

If it works you can restore your backup and test again: Restore Apple Watch from a backup

This will hep us further isolate the issue to determine the cause.

Take Care!

Larry,

Awesome, We're glad it worked out!

Cheers!
