Also, I tried logging out and then logging back in again, and there is not even an option to log in using the Apple Watch. However, when I tried to unlock the Security & Privacy preferences again, it still didn't work. When I got the login screen, it said I had to enter my password to enable unlock with Apple Watch after restarting. So I tried restarting both my Mac and Apple Watch. The window that says "System Preferences is trying to unlock Security & Privacy preferences" doesn't go away, and I am forced to click the Use Password button. Immediately I get a notification on my Apple Watch prompting me to double-click (the digital crown) to approve. So, say I now go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy again and click the lock icon on the bottom left. Two-Factor Authentication is on for my Apple ID. In System Preferences > Security & Privacy I have "Use your Apple Watch to unlock apps and your Mac" selected.
