Apple Watch login does not work in 1Password 8

I am seeing the same thing in macOS Ventura for a few different clients. The Apple Watch unlocks the computer just fine, but the 1Password 8 app doesn't even show it as an option.

Hey Folks,

Have you seen our new blog posting? As of today, 1Password 8 for Apple Watch is available:

Announcing 1Password 8 for Apple Watch ⌚️

More exciting things to come.

Using latest IOS and WatchOS versions with the new ultra watch, 1password doesn't show at all, not even in the list of applications in the Apple Watch app....
Compatibility issue ?

I have a similar issue. I am using 1Password 8.8.0 and there is not even an option to select Apple Watch. I do have it in operation in my Mac OS though.

Alright! Apple Watch Login works now, only the browser extension integration is pretty unstable and broken.

Hey cortig:

Thanks for following up with the specifics. If you're still running into issues with unlocking 1Password with your Apple Watch on the MacBook, it may be best to take a closer look at the 1Password setup on your MacBook. Please follow these steps:

1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac
2. Open Settings
3. Choose Advanced > Send Diagnostics
4. Click Reveal to locate the diagnostics on your computer
5. Attach the diagnostics report to an email addressed to support+forum@1password.com. Include your username: cortig, and a link to to this thread: https://1password.community/discussion/122651/apple-watch-login-does-not-work-in-1password-8/p2.

We'll take a closer look and see what could be causing the trouble here. Thanks!

I see Jack_P_1P … So that explains it for the iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019). It's really confusing since MacOS X itself allows unlocking with he Apple Watch.

On the MacBook Pro (which is in your list and has a T2 chip) though, I only see the option for TouchID. The Watch is not mentioned in the 1Password preferences.

Hi cortig:

Just to clarify, not all Macs that allow you to unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch are supported for unlocking 1Password. Your Mac needs to have a Secure Enclave to allow unlocking 1Password with your Apple Watch.

• iMac Pro (2017 and newer)
• iMac (27-inch 2020 and newer)
• MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (2016 and newer)
• MacBook Pro (2018 and newer)
• MacBook Air (2018 and newer)
• Mac mini (2018 and newer)
• Mac Pro (2019 and newer)

On your MacBook you should see two options in Security, one for Touch ID and one for Apple Watch. Let me know!

my instructions are referring to the macOS System Preferences.

True… and in my case that part is just fine. Although shouldn't there be a mention of unlocking with the Apple Watch in the 1Password security preferences too?? I sure don't see it on my iMac.
The MacBook Pro doesn't mention it either, but at least it offers TouchID (and enabling the option allows me to unlock with my watch).

(and for good measures, here's the System pref showing the Watch unlocking is enabled on the Mac)
