Require a Passkey or Bond to Access Services
To establish a connection, the other device must have a passkey
or an established bond for added security. You can add data
encryption to this type of security.
A passkey is a code you enter to authenticate connections
requested by other devices. The passkey must be known and used
by both parties or the connection will not be allowed.
To require a passkey or bond:
1. From the Today screen, tap the Bluetooth icon.
2. Tap the tab for the service you want to enable: File Transfer,
Information Exchange, Serial Port, Dial-up Networking,
Audio Gateway, or Personal Network Server.
3. Select Authentication (Passkey) required.
4. Select Encryption Required if you want to require all data
exchanged between the devices to be encrypted.
5. Tap OK.
If... Then...
Both devices successfully enter the
known passkey
A bond is created between the
devices.
You do not have to enter the
passkey again to exchange
information.
You want to require a passkey
exchange each time you transmit
information
You must remove the bond (“Unpair
Devices”) prior to establishing the
connection.
