[Fed-Talk] Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) & Apple Watch on a STIG'd iMac

Has anyone tried to make the auto-unlock/login work on a STIG’d Mac?  I went through the process a few times always stopping at a message that stated I needed to complete the iCloud setup. After searching a few websites on 2FA, I found out to make the Apple Watch available to unlock you computer you needed WiFi enabled as well as bluetooth.

It makes sense bluetooth should be there, but it’s beyond me why this entire process requires WiFi when a STIG’d system almost always disables WiFi at the lower level. 

I have all the ingredients to make it work if it didn’t require WiFi.  Does anyone know why WiFi needs to be in the mix?
