Tip
Just as it is safer to use
different personal
identification numbers
(PINs) for different bank
accounts, your passkeys
are more secure if you use
a different passkey for
each device with which
you want to connect—one
passkey for a connection
to a phone, a different one
for a connection to a
computer, and so on. Just
remember that you must
enter the same passkey
on your handheld and on
the device with which you
want to connect.
