Is installing BLEUnlock an open door to the security of the Mac?

Hello!

I've used it a lot because I love BLEUNLOCK, until today...

For example, I used the Apple Watch as a remote device. But...
What happens if I leave the watch at home and a family member approaches the Apple Watch (Apple Watch with a locked security code). Access the Mac without a password!!!!!!

This seems quite insecure to me, I say in the house, but let's imagine that you use it in an office and you forget the watch in the office someday...

Is there anything for BLEUnclock to check that the Apple Watch is unlocked before unlocking the Mac?

Thank you, best regards!

Hello,
Checking Apple Watch unlocked seems possible according to #113.
I'll investigate it when I have time.
In addition, using BLEUnlock itself increases security risk.
See #90.
I'll describe it in README when I have time.

Wow, thank you very much, well, it's a good thing I've noticed. It's sad because bleunlock is very comfortable!!! :)
But safety comes first. What the user proposes in #113 seems great to me, I wish it could be done sometime.

Regards and thank you for your answer!!

I use apple native to unlock my laptop (as they requires the watch to be unlocked).

But I use BLEunlock to lock the device. This makes it more secure, without any compromise.
