Unlock with Apple Watch is the next best thing to Face ID for your Mac.

Your Apple Watch can do more than track your fitness activities and sleep habits, assuming you know how to sync it with your Mac. Here's how.

If you have a compatible watch and Mac, you can use your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac computer. Here's how to do it using the "Auto Unlock" feature.

Quick note: If your Watch is running watchOS 6 or newer, and your Mac has macOS Catalina or newer, you can also use the Apple Watch whenever you're prompted to enter your Mac's administrator password.

Instead of tapping out your PIN code on the way-too-small number pad, here's how you can use your iPhone to unlock your watch.

Now, whenever your Apple Watch is within a few feet -- or about 1 meter -- of your Mac, the Mac will automatically unlock, rather than waiting for you to type in your password.
