Passkey
A Passkey is a password that is made up of 16 or less characters. Passkeys are also referred to
as PIN codes, or Personal Identification Numbers. Passkey will be required if the Secure
Connection option is enabled for a Bluetooth service or application.
Secure Connection
A passkey or link key is required each time a connection is attempted.
All data exchanged over the Bluetooth connection is encrypted.
Depending on other configuration options, authorization may also be required.
Security Request Dialog Box
Depending on your security settings, you may see a Bluetooth Authorization or Bluetooth PIN
Code Request dialog box when a connection is attempted. But this is only if you have either
Authorization or Authentication enabled.
The method of notification is in the form of a bubble message displayed over the Bluetooth Tray
icon in the Windows system tray.
Click the bubble message and follow the instructions on the screen. The instructions vary,
depending on the security configuration of the system. If the security notification is ignored after a
preset timeout, the connection request will fail.
In the Security Request dialog box, you will see the following:
Device Name: displays the user-friendly name of the device that is attempting to
connect.
Request to access: displays the service that the remote device is trying to access.
OK: grants permission to establish connection.
No: denies permission to establish a connection.
A checkbox that, when enabled, always allows the connecting device to access the
service requested.
