Apple Watch will not unlock Laptop

I cannot use my Apple Watch to unlock my MacBook Air anymore.

This is the case since Beta 2 - it worked with Beta 1.

The setting is checked in the Security and Privacy Section,


Does anyone else experience this?


TIA

This might be a silly (couple of) question, but are your watch and laptop on the same network? Are you using wi-fi? (Told you they might be silly questions).

I just tried and my watch unlocked my MacBook Pro with no problem ( had to turn wi-fi on because I'm on a wired network).

Same problem here. Ocasionally it works, mostly it does not.

(yep, same network, all on wifi, all devices on beta 2)

Unfortunately, it seems commands/programs/apps work and then they don't. Sometimes I can restart and get non-functional programs to work, sometimes, I'm just wasting my time.

I was able to get it to work.

I had to break the connection - and reconnect the watch.

At first it didn't work but after a restart it worked.

It's becoming more Windows like every day. When something doesn't work...why just reboot...and reboot...and reboot...ad nauseum.

Yes this is true. I have also same problem.Flower images
