Please include the following information.

Your Issue:It works Airdrop and continuity, but do not exist on my macbook the ability to set the release by apple watch.(I signed in to iCloud using the same Apple ID on both devices, and two-factor authentication must be turned on for my Apple ID).Sorry for my English, but help me with the translator.

Airdrop is working but there is not “Allow Your Apple Watch to Unlock Your Mac” options in Security & Privacy

I have a MacBook Pro late 2011 and I swapped the the original Airport card to this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/271644981196?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT just so that i can get the Airdrop. Continuity sometime works sometime don't. Also even tho the new Airport card is bluetooth 4.0 its still doesn't have the correct technology to work with Apple Watch Unlock feature. It will work with these computers

MacBook (Early 2015 or newer) MacBook Pro (Late 2013 or newer) MacBook Air (Mid 2013 or newer) Mac mini (Late 2014 or newer) iMac (Late 2013 or newer) Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)

and the Airport from computers mentioned above has a completely different connector so you cannot swap them with the older computers.
