With this feature enabled, you no longer need to enter your Mac password every time you wake it up from sleep mode or after restarting. Your Apple Watch acts as the key to swiftly unlock your Mac, saving you precious time and effort.

To enable the MacOS Apple Watch unlock feature, you need to meet a few requirements:

• Your Mac must be running MacOS Sierra or a later version.
• Your Apple Watch must be running on watchOS 3 or a later version.
• Your Mac and Apple Watch must be using the same iCloud account.
