Apple Watch stops unlocking 1password

I have been using my Apple Watch 10 to unlock 1password. 1password has just stopped seeing watch. There is no watch icon on the login dialog. There is no watch setting in 1password settings....

    I'm sorry for the frustration. I agree that it seems like 1Password's handling of an Apple Watch that is enabled for unlock but not currently available could be better. For example, the app could show a message somewhere letting you know that 1Password can't connect to your Apple Watch.

    I've filed issues with our development team so that they can look into this further. I've also reached out to our documentation team to see if they can add a note about this scenario to our guide on Apple Watch unlock.

    Let me know if there's anything else that I can help you with.

The watch was locked - but showed the normal display so seemed OK.
So the experience was as expected I could not log in - fair enough.

The annoyance really was that for 1password all the Apple Watch entries went missing so I spent 15 minutes rereading documentation which all said there should be an Apple Watch entry in settings.

For the Watch it should have stayed with the PIN entry rather than show the normal face.
