Inconsistent Apple Watch unlock

Similar issue with me — Unlock with Apple Watch does not work for 1Password while always working for unlocking the MacOS screen sleep. If I try all the things on the help article about setting up unlock with Apple Watch then sometimes (rarely) it works for a while but then stops working.
iMac Pro running MacOS 14.2.1
Apple Watch Ultra running WatchOS 10.2

Unlock with Apple Watch used to work reliably until a couple of months ago.

I'd suggest signing out of iCloud on the watch and signing in again. We had a user much like yourself that we referred to Apple. The user reported Apple had them unpair and pair the watch with the phone and now he's a happy user. I can't guarantee the same for you but that worked for him.

Thanks, Tommy, that worked! After re-pairing my watch I just had to re-enable unlock with Apple Watch on my Mac and 1Password is suddenly able to be unlocked by my watch.

Let's see if this setting sticks...

Wishing you good luck. @OC03

If anyone else wishes to try that, it might be worth a shot. This is has helped three folks so far. It seems it might be fruitful. My main thought is perhaps this refreshes some token that's exchanged. As long as it works...

Hi Tommy. Unfortunately, the problem has returned the day after Apple Watch unlock was restored by signing the Apple Watch out-of/into iCloud. Last night I shut the computer down, and today 1Password again is failing to interact with my Apple Watch. (This has been the pattern lately — if I somehow get Apple Watch unlock to work, it soon again ceases to work.)
