I am on Ventura 13.5, apple watch os 9.6 and iPhone 16.6
The apple watch unlock is turned on, but unfortunately I have to enter the macbook's password to open it.
Why and what steps can I take to resolve?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.5
Apologies...I probably misread your initial post.
Here's an article that may contain an answer for your question: https://www.igeeksblog.com/cannot-unlock-mac-using-apple-watch/
Hope this helps.
The Apple Watch has nothing to do with your MacBook's password. It's paired to your iPhone, not your MacBook.
The password your Apple Watch is looking for is the passcode you assigned it. If you've forgotten your watch's passcode, this Apple Support article should help: If you forgot your Apple Watch passcode - Apple Support
Hope this helps.
On this link you can see how the Apple Watch is able to unlock the mac

Even though the feature is turned on, it is not working.
Why?
I went one by one and did all of the items listed but the issues persists.
