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.

Bluetooth Authorization

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.
