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
Passkey Request dialog box when a connection is attempted. But this is only if you have either
Authorization or Authentication enabled.
The method of notification depends on the version of your Windows:
Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows XP – a bubble message is displayed
over the Bluetooth Tray icon in the Windows system tray.
Windows 98SE – the BTW icon in the Windows system tray blinks.
