Apple watch does not unlock Mac Mini I have an M1 Mac mini and an Apple Watch Series 6. Up until this morning, it faithfully unlocked my Mac. I have turned off unlock with Watch, restarted my Mac, turned unlock back on. It says synced but does not unlock my Mac. My Mac/watch/iPhone have all been updated to the latest updates. Any suggestions what I can try next?

Have tried to reboot both the MacBook Pro and Apple Watch? To shut down the Apple Watch, press and hold the side button, tap the power button the on the top right, then slide the slider to power off. To power back on press and hold the side button till you see an Apple logo. Hope this helps!
