Finally, the PIN length ranges from 8 to 128 bits. Most manufacturers use a 4 digit PIN and supply it with the device. Obviously, customers should demand the ability to use longer PINs.
Correction: Most manufacturers hardcode the 4-digit PIN to 0000. It has been known for some time that those "gadgets" need to be paired in an Faradayic environment: if I recall correctly, a paper being presented on this at the RSA conference ~2001 or so.
The forced re-pairing vulnerability is news to me. It makes me very concerned about Bluetooth keyboards...
