Sorry - deleted the original after replying with the wrong email!

I’ve only come across situations where the reader refused to acknowledge the 
watch and, less frequently, my phone, and I had to use my card. These 
situations are quite rare and nearly all the time it works fine.

On a wild off chance, you may like to try supplying your AppleID on the watch 
from time to time mine would pop up and ask for my AppleID which I never 
bothered to supply. Later I realised that I could unlock my iMac with my watch 
but the switch never took on my iMac. Then it did work for a while, then 
reverted to ignoring my watch again!

I tried entering the password for my AppleID on my watch and it rejected it 
every time - even entering the p/w via my iPhone keyboard - so I finally 
relented and changed my AppleID password. The watch accepted this and my iMac 
then instantly switched to unlocking via my watch and has remained doing so 
ever since.

It seems quite unrelated to your problem Jason but it’s a security measure and 
may be worth a punt to avoid a reset.

Cheers,
Stephen
