How to use Apple Watch to unlock your Mac

After you enable Auto Unlock on your Mac, you’ll be able to unlock your device the moment you bring your Apple Watch physically closer. So, whenever necessary, just drag your Watch closer, and you’re good to go.

Also, since the feature is available only on watchOS 7 or later, I’d recommend updating your watchOS to the latest version.
