updated Ultra 2 to 10.3 yesterday and notices that "Unlock with AW" was disabled on my M1 MBA running the RC 10.3 Sonoma and on my Mac Studio running 10.2 Sonoma. Re-enabling it worked, just odd that it disabled it.
Has anyone else seen this?
 
It remained enabled for me on an Intel Mac Mini running Sonoma 14.3
 
I had to re-enable it after the 10.3 watch update. This is on my personal M1 Macbook Pro running Sonoma 14.3.

The unlock-with-watch feature has limited usefulness to me because I do the vast majority of my work on my employer-issued MBP, which is on a different AppleID. And while I suspect there are many like me with separate AppleIDs for their work and personal devices, it's a use case that Apple doesn't support.
