Hello Russbude!

Here are the instructions that you need to follow in order to allow the ability to unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch. I will also link to the Apple Guide which are instructions, in this way, you will have access to the manual for future reference. Good luck!

Unlock your Mac with Apple Watch

If you have a Mac (2013 or later version) with macOS Sierra, your Apple Watch can instantly unlock your Mac when he wakes up from his sleep. You must be connected to iCloud by using the same identifier Apple on your Mac and Apple Watch.

To use Auto unlock, you must have a password for your Apple Watch - open settings , type the password, type activate password on, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

Turns on automatic unlocking. On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click general. Check the box "Allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac". If you have not enabled your iCloud of two factor authentication account, follow the instructions on the screen, and then try to select the check box again.

For more information about two-factor authentication, see the article Apple Support for Apple ID two-factor authentication.

Unlock your Mac. If you wear your watch, wake your Mac - no need to type your password.

Tip: Make sure your Apple Watch is on your wrist and unlocked.
