Authentication

The process of establishing a safe connexion between two devices Bluetooth During the authentication process, both devices are asked for a passkey. The same passkey must be entered or confirmed on both devices. Some devices, such as mouse, create and authenticate their own passkeys, while devices like keyboards or mobile phones will prompt you to authenticate the passkey the first time they pair.
