Apple Watch, a revolutionary innovation from the tech giant, is a perfect device to track fitness, health, and other essential items. However, it is much more than just a fitness tracker or smart wearable as it allows you to unlock your Mac computer by just sitting in front of it. All you have to do is set up auto-unlock on your Apple Watch and your compatible Mac device. Once you have enabled auto-unlock on your devices, you will be able to unlock your computer using your Apple Watch just by unlocking your Apple Watch and sitting in front of your Mac computer.

You won’t have to enter your passcode every time to use your Mac. Unlocking your Mac will be as easy as waking up your Apple Watch and sitting in front of the Mac.

In this guide, we will show you how to make it happen, using step-by-step guidance.

Getting Ready

Before we dive into the process, we would like to remind you of a few essential things you will need for this process. First and foremost, ensure that your Apple Watch, as well as Mac, can be connected. You will need to make sure that they are compatible with each other. After that, ensure that you have enabled two-factor authentication on your iCloud account. You also have to make sure that both your Mac and Apple Watch use the same iCloud account. That is all you need for this process. Once you have these things, you are all set to go ahead. 

Setting Up Auto-Unlock on Your Mac and Apple Watch

Please follow the given down instructions to setup auto-unlock on your Mac device to unlock it using your Apple Watch:

  1. On your Mac device, click on the Apple icon in the top right corner of the screen.
  2. After that, quickly go to the system preferences when the drop-down appears.
  3. Navigate to security and privacy.
  4. Then go to general.
  5. There would be an option saying, “Use your Apple Watch to unlock apps and your Mac.”
  6. Make sure you have enabled it by checking it.
  7. Congratulations, you have successfully enabled auto-unlock on your Mac.

Now, whenever you sit in front of your Mac while your Apple Watch is unlocked, your Mac computer will automatically unlock without even entering the password.

That is all you have to do, and we hope you have liked this guide. Thank you for visiting this page and staying here with us for a while.
