unlock not working all the time

[pittster1970]

I have an up to date Apple Watch 6 and iMac & MacBook Pro all running the latest OS/iOS.

each time I enable the computers to allow the watch to unlock them it works for a while and then they stop unlocking and I have to go through the whole procedure again.

have restarted computers, shut down watch and iPhone etc etc but the issue still remains.

Am I alone with this issue? does anybody have any ideas?

thank you

I notice the same from time to time but it seems to fix itself always…

Same here, Apple Watch S6 + MacBook Pro 2018, all updated. It actually makes me just use the touchID on the Mac all the time, cause I can’t completely trust the auto unlock feature 🤷🏼‍♂️

Apple Watch unlock works about 90% of the time for me across my Macs.

Me too. When it stops working, I just turn it off and on again in System Preferences and it will start working again (not immediately though, but after a short period of time). I don't have to restart any devices.
