Hey everybody.
I have just gotten a new M4 Mac mini as a Christmas present. I set up my Apple Watch for verification of downloads and to unlock the Mac. It worked great yesterday after set-up, but today it isn't working anymore. Now I have to enter the password to my AppleID for every download I make from the Appstore. Downloads off the web and everything else that uses the watch to authenticate works fine. I tried logging out of the App Store and back in, but that didn't seem to help. Has anyone else encountered this? Any solutions? Thank you.
