Multiple Account Unlock?

Anyone know if you can pair an Apple Watch with two different iCloud accounts or another solution on how to make this work…?

I’ve got my main personal iCloud account that I use on my iPhone, iPad, watch. My work Mac Studio is set up as such..

My main iCloud account is the administrator account on the studio. However, because I have a couple of members of staff that use my computer, I’ve set up most of my work stuff on a separate user login. To enable calendars and other stuff to sync across multiple macs (I’ve got a couple of iMacs in other rooms), I have a ‘Work’ iCloud account.

I use 1Password and on the administrator account login use the watch to unlock the account. Any ideas if it’s possible to use the watch to unlock 1Password on the ‘Work’ user login that’s under a different iCloud account?

1Passwords Apple Watch Unlock feature works with an Apple API. It is not possible to use the unlock feature across multiple accounts. It's directly associated with the Apple ID signed into the device.

Thanks. I thought as much.
I understand why, just such a pain to have to type my complicated password multiple times a day.

Trust me I feel you. If I ever notice a change, I'll be shouting from the rooftops with joy.
