Hi Jose,

In case you are planning to implement a patch to solve this problem,
remember that the Bluetooth Spec mentions something called "Repeated
Attempts". So, in case authentication/pairing fails, you can initiate
another authentication/pairing only after a certain amount of time. If you
try it before this time, the authentication/pairing would fail again. And
this time keeps on increasing exponentially with each failure.

Best Regards,

Mayank
