On macOS, pwSafe users can unlock their safes using an Apple Watch, even though the option is labeled as "Touch ID" in the application. This feature requires the following setup:
- Your Apple Watch must be linked to an iPhone that is logged in with the same iCloud account and connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- In macOS Settings - Touch ID & Password, enable your Apple Watch to unlock applications as shown in this screenshot:
- In pwSafe, unlock your safe by entering the password.
- Select the menu option Safe - Enable Touch ID. A popup will confirm that Touch ID (or Watch) has been enabled.
In case unlocking with your Apple Watch is not working, you might be "double pressing" the watch button too fast. Try to double press a bit slower to resolve this.
If you encounter any issues, such as error messages, please contact support for further assistance.

Further my last comment on ticket #24993, it turns out I was ‘double pressing’ the watch button too fast. If I double pressed a bit slower then it works perfectly.
Thanks for the info and the great product.
Thanks for adding that info Jon, I've added it to the article.
