Accessible options to unlock laptop

I’m trying to find an accessible alternative to unlock a laptop other than via an Apple Watch.

My mother has Parkinson’s, and the tremors cause her to be unable to use Touch ID, and also cause her to be locked out of her laptop due to entering the password incorrectly.

I was unable to find an article that addresses this topic.

thank you!

the option to use my apple watch to unlock my mac isn't there Apple states that the option to use my apple watch to unlock my Mac (running Ventura) would be in System settings/Touch ID & Password. The only options I have are using touch ID. How come I don't have Apple Watch unlocking options?

MacBook Pro locked requiring pin/password My MacBook Pro is, for the first time, asking for a “PIN” with the following message below. ”Your password is required to enable Touch ID” and ”Password required to enable Apple Watch to unlock this Mac” I’ve entered my Apple ID password, the 4 digit pin for my watch, and the 6 digit code for my phone/ipad. None of these are working. Any advice would be appreciated.
