Hi Jack_P_1P I have actually got it to work now. In hindsight it was probably not an issue with the 1P app and more macos issues.

If anyone else has the same problem, the following solved it for me:
Uncheck TouchID and Apple Watch in the 1P Mac app: Settings > Security > Unlock
Uncheck 'Use Touch ID to unlock your Mac' and 'Apple Watch' in system prefs: System Preferences > Touch ID & Password
Restart Mac
Check 'Use Touch ID to unlock your Mac' and 'Apple Watch' in system prefs: System Preferences > Touch ID & Password
Check TouchID and Apple Watch in the 1P Mac app: Settings > Security > Unlock

Haven't tested with mac in clamshell yet but if I have more problem regarding that I will open a new discussion with the Mac topic!

Thanks!
