New issue with unlocking my Samsung phone via phone link app on PC

I've been using the "Phone Link" app on my computer and mobile and this has let me mirror my phone on my computer and enabled me to unlock the phone screen from my PC. However I'm no longer able to unlock from the PC and it is showing the following message: "Unlock on your phone. To keep your credential private and secure, we need you to unlock your phone to continue." Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue?

    I am having the same issue. Not sure if this is a result of any updates to Android and/or Windows. I noticed it a few weeks ago but didn't investigate until now. For me, it is occurring on all Windows machines that I use Phone Link on, both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

    Same here on multiple PC's. Good to know it's not just an issue with my PC's.
