Unlocking macOS with Apple Watch

[circatee]

Has anyone experienced not being near your MBP or Mac Mini M1, and your watch notifies you that it was unlocked?

This happens a few times with my AW6 and Mac Mini M1.

Weird. Especially when my Mac Mini M1 is upstairs and no human or animal is near it. Odd…

Never experienced that. It needs to be within Bluetooth range for the mac to unlock

Mbp m1 2020 here. Yeah this happens sometimes with mine too.

Not regularly but sometimes.

Also happened with the air m1 that I used before.

Sometimes it also says the connection is weak or the watch is too far away when I want to unlock it.
But that also happens sometimes.
