Thank you for answering those questions! I'd like for you to try a test that will better indicate where the issue is occurring (you might have seen this test in the thread that you linked to in your original post): 

  1. Wait until you run into the issue where you can't unlock the 1Password for Mac desktop app using your Apple Watch.
  2. Click on the  in the menu bar.
  3. Click System Settings.
  4. Click Privacy & Security.
  5. Click Advanced.
  6. As a temporary troubleshooting step, turn on "Log out automatically after inactivity".
  7. You'll now see a macOS system prompt asking you to confirm the action. You should receive a double-tap notification on your Apple Watch.


Let me know if you receive the double-tap notification when trying these steps. Once the test is over you can turn off "Log out automatically after inactivity".
