1password On Apple Watch

Can't unlock 1Password with Apple Watch even though Unlock with Apple Watch is set up. So I've set up Unlock with Apple Watch in the privacy settings on my MacBook Air running Big Sur, but 1Password is still not seeing it as set up. Under the settings it just gives me the option to 'Set up Apple Watch' even though it is already set up and not. To open 1Password on your Apple Watch, press the Digital Crown and tap on the Home screen. To view an item, tap it. If the item has a one-time password, tap it to see the username and password for the item.

Following on from the release of Apple’s latest macOS Big Sur, the development team at 1Password have released a new update to their password manager application and service. Providing a wealth of new features and functionality, one of which is the possibility for you to use your Apple Watch to unlock your 1Password app using devices equipped with the Secure Enclave secure coprocessor.

“Big Sur is finally here, and we’re celebrating with a slew of new features that highlight the technological advances that power Apple’s newest operating system. One of our most highly requested features, Apple Watch can now unlock 1Password on any Mac with a Secure Enclave. If you’re using macOS 10.15 or later and using the latest devices, you’ll now see an option in 1Password preferences to turn on Unlock with Apple Watch alongside the Touch ID option.”

The Secure Enclave is a secure coprocessor that includes a hardware-based key manager, which is isolated from the main processor to provide an extra layer of security. The Secure Enclave is a hardware feature of certain versions of iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Apple Watch and HomePod — namely:- iPhone 5s (or later)

– iPad Air (or later)
– Mac computers that contain the T1 chip or the Apple T2 Security Chip
– Apple TV 4th generation (or later)
– Apple Watch Series 1 (or later)
– HomePod

Learn how to protect your data when you use 1Password on your Apple Watch.

When you use 1Password on your Apple Watch, you can have quick access to items that you use often. Because you can access the items so easily, you can use longer and more secure passwords in circumstances where you might not have your iPhone with you.

You are always in control

Only items you add to Apple Watch will be available on your Apple Watch, and your watch must be unlocked to view them.

Your items are sent securely to your Apple Watch

When you first set up your Apple Watch, you pair it with your iPhone by holding your phone’s camera up to an animated pattern on your watch. The pattern contains an encoded secret that is used for out-of-band pairing. After your watch is paired to your phone, they exchange keys, so all future communication is end-to-end encrypted.

1Password uses this secure communication channel to send items to your Apple Watch.

Your items are stored securely in the Apple Watch Keychain

When you add items to 1Password on your Apple Watch, only the relevant details from the items are stored in the Apple Watch Keychain. The title, type, and UUID are stored for each item. The following additional item details are stored for each supported item type:

Login: Username, password, one-time password, website (domain only)
Secure Note: Notes
Credit Card: Card number, expiration date, PIN, verification code
Bank Account: Bank name, name on account, account type, routing number, account number
Driver License: Name, number
Passport: Type, issuing country, number, full name, sex, nationality, date of birth, place of birth, issued on, expiration date
Password: Password, website (domain only)
Social Security Number: Name, number
Wireless Router: Network name, network password

Custom fields are not stored on Apple Watch for any item type.

Because the details are stored in the Apple Watch Keychain, they’re protected by your Apple Watch passcode, not your Master Password. To keep the item details safe, 1Password uses the kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlockThisDeviceOnly attribute to store the information, which means that:

Your Apple Watch must be unlocked for the item details to be accessible.
Your Apple Watch must have a passcode set. If you turn off your Apple Watch passcode, your item details are deleted.
The item details cannot be restored to a different device.
The item details are not included in iCloud backups.
Only 1Password can access the item details.

To remove all your item details from the Apple Watch Keychain:

Open and unlock 1Password on your iPhone.
Tap Settings > Apple Watch.
Turn off Enable Apple Watch.

Protect yourself when using 1Password on your Apple Watch

Using 1Password on your Apple Watch is very convenient. Follow these tips to stay safe:

Don’t share your Apple Watch passcode. If you use 1Password on your Apple Watch, it’s important that you guard your Apple Watch passcode closely. Anyone who knows your Apple Watch passcode can view the items that you’ve added to 1Password on your Apple Watch.
Turn on wrist detection. When wrist detection is on, your watch locks when you take it off, so your information stays secure. On your Apple Watch, open Settings, tap Passcode, and turn on Wrist Detection.
Be aware of the items you add to your Apple Watch. Storing low-value secrets, like your garage door and bike lock codes, in 1Password on your Apple Watch is a great convenience. However, because the items aren’t protected by your Master Password when they’re on your Apple Watch, you may want to avoid storing high-value secrets, like your bank and email passwords.
If you’re concerned that someone may attempt to wear your Apple Watch when you’re not wearing it, turn off Unlock with iPhone. When Unlock with iPhone is turned on, unlocking your iPhone will automatically unlock your watch when someone is wearing it near your iPhone. If you anticipate such a situation, you can turn off that setting. On your Apple Watch, open Settings, tap Passcode, and turn off Unlock with iPhone.
Don’t jailbreak your Apple Watch. Someone with physical access to your watch could theoretically access your item details stored in the Apple Watch Keychain. However, that would require unlocking the device and jailbreaking the device (so that something other than 1Password can read the Apple Keychain data that belongs to 1Password). If you jailbreak your device, you are willingly defeating one of the strongest defenses against such an attack.
