![]() On top of automatically unlocking your Mac, this feature enables you to automatically enter your Mac's admin password using your Apple Watch when asked for it - such as when viewing passwords in Safari preferences, accessing a locked note, or unlocking settings in System Preferences. Note that the first time you log in after you've turned on, restarted, or logged out of your Mac, you'll need to enter your password manually. ![]() Wi-Fi and Bluetooth must be turned on, and both devices need to ordinarily have a password/passcode, too. The feature requires macOS Sierra or later and watchOS 3 or later, with each device needing to be logged in with the same iCloud account. Since the system trusts that it's you wearing your unlocked Apple Watch (since you had to enter its passcode), your Mac will unlock for you automatically once you're in close proximity. Once set up, it gives you instant access to your Mac, without the need to enter your password, when you're wearing your unlocked Apple Watch. One neat Continuity feature that really benefits Apple Watch wearers is Auto Unlock.
