[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1929538, member: 396914"] It doesn't fail 1 in 7. The authority for it needs to be reconfirmed once every seven days. I use it to unlock the MBP probably 10-15 times a day, maybe more. So the failure rate is more like 1-2%, tops. And the "failure" doesn't do anything but not unlock the MBP, so I have to use the touchpad to register my fingerprint. Or, on a Mac with no biometrics, the user would have to enter the login password. The Mac isn't locked up, no reboot needed, it is just that the Watch failed to connect properly. It's not even an annoyance, it's just technologically amazing when it does work. And very handy. [/QUOTE]
