I'm still having issues with my watch unlocking my Mac. This didn't fix it for me.
Update: I disabled/re-enabled "unlock with Apple Watch." That fixed it.

And now the bug that caused Safari to switch the location of web downloads to the Documents folder after pressing the 'Save' button—which was fixed in the previous version—has returned in 13.3.1.
And just like that all my wallpapers are effed up. Thank you, Craig.
Edit: and when I try to set my old wallpaper pics via the Photo App, absolutely nothing happens.
iOS 16.4. : Playlist via scenes on Homekit no longer works..
Apple software has become such an unbelievable **** show.

My issue is still not solved. I used to be able to unlock with Apple Watch but since updating to Ventura the option isn't even listed to select unlock with watch. It just says a password is set on this computer or something like that. Anyone else having that issue? It's a 2021 24" iMac. When i search for apple watch in the settings it will show an option but when i click it the page it brings me to has nothing about Apple Watch. So annoying.
Wipe your computer and reinstall from scratch 🤷🏻♂️I'm now on macOS Ventura 13.3.1. Have been for a couple of days. Still not having the Watch unlock my Mac.
I even tried restarting my Mac. And turning that feature on/off. All the typical BS troubleshooting stuff. No success.
AFAIK new Macs don't need that (unless you've turned off SIP), you can just do a factory reset (General > Transfer or Reset > Erase All ...).
😂 Lemme guess, you do IT support for Windows installations. 😉
I came back to report that unlocking with the watch is now (magically?) working again.
yes with my macbook air m1. Never with my mac mini m2 pro and underline never!
Yes, with my Mac Studio on 13.3.1. It's extremely annoying. Considering doing a full wipe and restore to see if that does the trick.
Honestly I'm absolutely stunned by the high degree of incompetence of the Apple engineers responsible for the Watch unlock feature, including the people in charge of actually testing this feature.
v13.3.1, the update supposed to have fixed this issue, has been out for almost a month and Watch unlock is still broken.
Hey Apple, FYI I have decided to purchase a standard Magic keyboard without Touch unlock because, guess what, I have an Apple Watch.
