Unlock with Apple Watch has stopped working

System details:
macOS 12.1
iOS 15.3.1
watchOS 8.4.2
1Password 7.9.4

When I access 1Password — either on the desktop or via the browser extension — it brings up a dialog indicating I can unlock using the watch or entering the master password. But, the watch no longer buzzes and a double click on the side button accesses the wallet app. Preferences -> Security shows that TouchID and the watch are both enabled. I know that the watch is "talking" to the laptop because the OS automatically lets it wake the system from sleep. This is a fairly recent, and consistent, problem that's been going on for several months.

I have restarted the laptop, phone, and watch. Please advise with any suggestions. I browsed the discussions and saw this has come up before, but only in closed discussions.

1Password Version: 7.9.4
Extension Version: 7.9.4
OS Version: macOS 12.1

    I'm sorry to hear that you're both having trouble with Apple Watch unlock. I'd like to ask you both to create a diagnostics report from your Mac:

    Hello @Doud_FtC! 👋

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with Apple Watch unlock. As a first step, since it looks like you're running older versions, can you update both your Mac and your Apple Watch to the latest versions of macOS and watchOS:

    Then restart both devices. Once this is done please try to use your Apple Watch to unlock 1Password and let me know if it now works. I look forward to hearing from you. 😊
