Done: VPR-84936-788. Hope it helps. I can do so on my Mac Mini which may still be exhibiting the issue; let me know if the diagnostic report from that system will help.
Thanks, Dave!

I'm having this same problem. Both my Mac Mini and Macbook Air (running latest Sonoma; Watch running latest watchOS version) unlock fine with Watch. Latest version of 1Password 8.10.36 for macOS (81036049).
I've done the long procedure of disabling "Unlock with Apple Watch" both in 1Password and macOS, and can try again, but I'd like to hear about a root cause. On my MBA I can easily use the TouchID button to authenticate, but do not have a Magic Keyboard on my Mini (I use a Logitech MX Series keyboard instead); I don't have to, the Mini unlocks instantly with my Watch on my wrist.

I have been having this issue with the latest version of 1Password for Mac 8.10.36 running on an iMac Pro with Sonoma 14.5. Every time I come back to my computer after the computer has been locked, 1Password is requiring me to enter my account password for both the browser extension and the 1Password app every time I enter a new session on my Mac (multiple times a day). I get the message: You need to enter your account password before you can use Apple watch unlock. I have an Apple Watch Series 9 running WatchOS 10.5.
I followed the steps earlier in this post and I the issue still persists.

Hia all,
same here, have 2 Macs, both Intel with Sonoma 14.5.
Macbook with touchID, works to unlock with watch, Macmini 2020 without touchID does not work anymore, (used to work without a hitch before) since a couple of days.
Both on 1PW 8.10.36.
Cleaned up the installation, rebooted, reinstalled the app, no luck. Tried the recommended steps at the top of the threat, without luck either.
Needless to say that machine and watch were rebooted several times.
