Okay a mystery for you to solve..... I have a Series 5 Apple watch and a Mac Mini running Catalina. The watch has been set to unlock the Mac when needed. This stopped working.
I've gone through the various fixes including turning the unlock function off, rebooting the Mac (and watch), turning it back on. Restoring the watch from a backup, and rebuilding it from scratch. No fix. The only fix that works is: log out of the iCloud account on the Mac, restart the Mac, restart Apple Watch. Login to iCloud on Mac. Then turn it on the unlock. The problem is this only last for 2-3 days then it stops working again. This driving me insane! So anybody have any ideas of how to fix it permanently? I'm close to wiping the entire Mac and rebuilding it from scratch.
