Apple Watch is not required; it is a convenience option that can be used to unlock the phone if you are masked.

What I said was "requiring an Apple Watch to unlock the phone with your mask on", so I'm not sure what you're correcting.

You can always unlock a phone with your mask on with a passcode. The Apple Watch method is an added convenience, not a "requirement".
