Recently - for at least weeks - my unlocking of my MBP and M4 mini by my watch has been erratic to terrible. Again and again having to supply Mac password to enable watch to unlock, or use TouchID which itself often required the password to be typed.
Even when it worked, I was getting alerts that my watch had unlocked my Mac. To an annoying degree. And it seemed slow.
With all the updates applied, I'm now seeing everything back to working smoothly, fast, no unnecessary alerts. In other words, as it should be.
My suspicious mind is wondering if some malware/hack issue had been found and that had resulted in changes being made which stopped everything working well. But now that has been fixed, all is back how it should be.
I have no idea which update(s) fixed the issue. I did them quickly, more or less one after the other, and did not check between them.
