Unlock with Apple Watch or Touch ID

The options to enable apple watch or touchid don't show up in my 1password settings.

1) MacBook Pro Intel i7 running Ventura 13.1 with touchbar.
2) Mac Mini also running latest Ventura.

I can unlock both machines with my apple watch.

What do you recommend?

Thx


1Password Version: 8
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Ventura 13.1
Browser:_ Chrome and Firefox

    Just tried that (saw it on another similar post) - didn't seem to make any difference. Watch unlock still works for iMac stuff, there's still no entry for it on the 1Password Security tab.

    Oh wait, maybe I discovered the problem, my iMac is "iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019)" so maybe it doesn't have a Security Enclave?

  • Hello @BillNYC212 and @srothman! 👋

    I'm sorry that Apple Watch unlock isn't working for 1Password. As a start, can you make sure that your Mac is listed as a supported Mac here: Use your Apple Watch to unlock 1Password on your Mac

    If your Mac is listed on that page then please try these steps:

    1. Disable Apple Watch Unlock for your Mac (In the MacOS menu bar:  > System Settings > Touch ID & Password > Uncheck your Apple Watch under "Use your Apple Watch to unlock your applications and your Mac")
    2. Turn off your Mac.
    3. Restart your Apple Watch: Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support
    4. Turn on your Mac.
    5. Enable Apple Watch Unlock for your Mac (In the MacOS menu bar:  > System Settings > Touch ID & Password > Check your Apple Watch under "Use your Apple Watch to unlock your applications and your Mac")
    6. Enable Apple Watch Unlock in 1Password for Mac (1Password > Settings > Security > Check "Apple Watch").

    Let me know if that helps. 🙂

    Same here. I'm using up-to-date 1Password (8.9.13), my Watch is up to date, and my iMac is running Monterey 12.6.2. I can use my Watch to unlock my Mac. I read that 1Password had an option in the Security tab of Settings - but nothing about the Watch shows up.
