Your Mac and Apple Watch are signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID, and your Apple ID is using two-factor authentication. Your Apple Watch is using a passcode. 2. On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. 3. Click Security & Privacy, then click General. 4. Select “Use your Apple Watch to unlock apps and your Mac” or “Allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac.” If you have more than one Apple Watch, select the watch you want to use to unlock your apps and Mac.

See the Apple Support article Two-factor authentication for Apple ID. Unlock your Mac While wearing your watch, just wake up your Mac—no need to type in your password.
