How to approve app requests with an Apple Watch The Apple Watch immediately unlocks your Mac. Approach your sleeping make and press a key on the keyboard or raise the cover of a laptop. To unlock your Mac with an Apple Watch, make sure (obviously) that you’re wearing the smartwatch. (Note that you probably don’t want to mess with your root files, as a general rule). With it enabled, you can double-click the side button on your Apple Watch to authenticate on your Mac for chores like viewing passwords in Safari preferences, approving app installations, unlocking a locked note, approve app installations, unlocking settings in System Preferences, and modifying root files. Click the box that says “Use your Apple Watch to unlock apps and your Mac.” If you decide later if you don’t want to use this feature, simply click the box again to disable it. Go to System Preferences and choosing the Security and Privacy section. Once you’ve got your Apple Watch ready, head on over to your Mac.
