Password app - can't authorize Mac

[sabrinams]

Trying to install the password app on my MacBook Pro. I already successfully installed it on my iPhone. 

The install on the laptop seemed to have worked fine, but somehow I can't authorize the laptop as an additional device. It finds my correct account, and I get a pop up message on the phone to authorize the laptop, but then on the laptop nothing happens. It is stuck on "waiting for permission to connect". If I try to use the words instead, I put all of them in, click continue, and it just goers back to the screen where I can choose to use the words. Tried rebooting, reinstalling the app, no idea what else to try.

Thanks!

Hey @jasonhirsh, thanks for joining the discussion here and sorry to hear about this.

Can you please try updating your device's OS to the latest version and try installing our passwords app anew?

Let me know how it goes!
