• Unlock Mac with Apple Watch stopped working

  I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Sierra and my Apple Watch shows OS 3 - for a period of time the new feature release of my Mac with Apple Watch worked very well

  He stopped and the option no longer appears in Settings/Security and confidentiality on the Mac - I suspect its because I had to change the password on my Apple ID - I think that if I could the closing of the session of this identifier on the watch and log back on it would start working again - but I don't see a way to check out of a Apple ID on the watch or the watch app on the iPhone (7plus)

  I guess I have unfair and then re pair the watch with the phone but that seems a little drastic, so do it before, I thought that I would like to ask a question to the community in the case where someone knows a way to check out of your Apple ID on the watch I don't know - I tried searchingGoogle but cannot find anything on this topic

  This seems to be fixed by my achievement and my Apple Watch with my iPhone repair - of course I don't know if it will happen again - I suspect (and its only that) is the problem has been caused by my change the password on my Apple ID - but when I went to watch outstanding I was asked for my password Apple ID and he accepted the new password

  I am running Sierra on a MacBook Pro 15 "retina early 2013

  I have the first edition of Apple Watch, running Watch OS3 and iPhone iOS running 6-10.

  I disconnected (e) turned iCloud on all devices, turned to two factors, turn it on again, reconnected, rebooted devices. Plus a lot of combinations of these, but still no joy.

• Mac OS Apple Watch Sierra unlock

  Hello

  I have a Macbook Pro 15 "end in 2014, I installed Sierra tonight to try out the new"unlock"feature.

  The release mechanism works 1/10, most of the time when I open the lid, it should be like a good second and then, he invites the normal place to enter the password. It is as my macbook seeks the Apple Watch but couldn't find it and asking for a password after the attempt.

  2 authentication is enabled, checked it on my macbook in middle on and my watch has a code to access and watch OS 3.

• Auto unlock with Apple Watch

  Dear support team Apple,

  I have problem with MacOS Sierra feature "Auto Unlock with Apple Watch". I upgraded my MacBook Pro 2015 until the latest Version of the OS and Apple Watch until the OS 3.

  Hi guys,.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Don't feel alone, there are a lot of problems. Very inconsistent behavior.

• 2SV v. 2FA for Auto unlock with Apple Watch

  Try to set up the auto unlock with Apple Watch on my MacBook Air (fall 2013) after the installation of Sierra. Get this message:

  

  Off the 2SV using applied.apple.com

  

  ... and still get the same message "2FA is required" box "Security & Privacy".

  What I am doing wrong?

  P.S., rescue email Apple ID has not yet been verified, because it belongs to my sister who lives in a very different time zone, but I don't see how this should matter for the automatic implementation of release.

  The message is mainly to tell you that you must enable two-factor authentication, is not that you should disable 2SV. You will need to disable 2SV before you can activate 2FA.

  You should always activate 2FA it to AppleID.apple.com

  I don't know why you don't see the option to activate 2FA here on the Security section. You have a device running El Capitan or later, or a device running iOS 9 or a later version in your list of devices?

• Unlock Mac Pro with Apple Watch

  I just downloaded the new OS of Sierra and have the newest OS on my iPhone and watch.  I tried to set up to where I can unlock my Mac with my watch, but can't seem to understand. Everything I read said I should check the box that says allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac. in respect of the security and confidentiality under general. Only problem is that I can't find such a thing anywhere... Any suggestion would be great.

  You're supposed to open preferences system (on your MacBook), go to Security & Privacy and then check the box that says "allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac". And it has not worked for you?

  Is your Apple Watch under the same Apple ID as your MacBook? If not, this is why it does not work. Otherwise... I don't really know.

• Automatic unlocking with Apple Watch active but expire

  I've activated automatic unlocking on my Mac (Macbook Air 6.1) successfully, I had my first gen Apple Watch upgraded to watch OS 3 and when I opened my Macbook, it says «Unlock with Apple Watch...» ». After a few seconds, however, I get a spinny wheel thought and then it expires and I get the password prompt. I tried to restart my Mac and my watch, but don't know what else to do here?

  As far as I know I have everything set up properly - 2-factor authentication, the right operating system, the hardware supports, but it just times out. Anyone have any idea why this could be or a potential solution?

  I have a MacBook to 2015 and iWatch. The Mac is on MacOS Sierra and the iWatch is on version 3, so both devices are on the latest version of the software. I also have an iPhone on the latest IOS that the watch is twinned with 6. All devices are on the same iCloud account.

  I tried everything I can do the iWatch unlock the Mac. I'm getting very fed upwards with it's complicated. I spent 2 step 2-factor authentication audit and I read each thread and an article I can find, but I can't get it to work. It seems I'm not the only one. I thought that Apple was easy to work, but with each update and the new feature which is launched, it becomes more complicated.

  I spent hours trying to work and decided that he would save me more type my password every time I have unlock the mac it takes to implement this feature from time to time saving!

  In any case, after trying everything I always get the message "your Mac was unable to communicate with your Apple Watch."

  

  If anyone can help I would really appreciate. Otherwise, I will ditch the idea to get this feature to work.

  Thank you Apple lovers.
