Apple Watch Unlock Option Disappearing / Not Functioning

It's happening right now. My Mac is unlocking, 1Password is not.

I've just emailed the diagnostic report.

@JamesHenderson

Thank you for sending in the diagnostics report, I see that my colleague and you have already started a conversation to investigate the issue on your Mac further. Please continue the discussion there. 🙂

My Apple Watch Ultra (1) unlocks my Mac M2, but never works with 1Password 8. If I click the watch icon in the unlock screen, a popup briefly flashes for a millisecond and the main login window shakes. It's been like this for so long that I'm considering either ditching 1Password on my personal Mac, or getting a touch-id keyboard (which is too expensive atm).

@tormodg

The Mac unlock works directly on the device and 1Passwords Apple Watch Unlock works through an Apple API. This could explain the differences you see. Please check to ensure that no focuses are active. It sounds like one may be. I've found a few of mine get turned on for some odd reason. I've gone to not sharing focuses between my Mac and my phone. My culprit is often Sleep and also Do not Disturb. With focus sharing off on the Mac now I don't encounter this that often.

Any news on this? This still only works about 50% of the time for me...oddly, when it stops working, I put my mac to sleep & then wake it up again straight away & it starts working again...sadly it'll stop working again over course of the next few hours...

@Experiments

I'm sorry that you're still seeing the issue. Our developers have implemented several improvements to the Apple Watch unlock process to mitigate many of the issues that have been reported to us. We've also filed feedback with Apple to report issues with certain APIs.

So that we can investigate the specific issue on your Mac, and confirm whether you're affected by the known issues that our team has identified, I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Mac:

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but if you have another macOS user logged in the Apple Watch feature won't work to unlock your Mac nor will it appear as an option in 1Password.

Thanks for the information. Out of curiosity, are you able to use your Apple Watch on system prompts when multiple users are added to your Mac:

1. Click on the  in the menu bar.
2. Click System Settings.
3. Click Privacy & Security.
4. Click Advanced.
5. As a temporary troubleshooting step, turn on "Log out automatically after inactivity".
6. You'll now see a macOS system prompt asking you to confirm the action. You should receive a double-tap notification on your Apple Watch.

Are you able to use the Apple Watch to authenticate the macOS system prompt? Once this test is complete you can turn off "Log out automatically after inactivity" if you wish.
