Yes, it's very annoying, I cannot do anything, voiceover keeps requesting.
I think, it will not happen if somebody didn't click our device, right?
For example, when I paired my player into my bose speaker, it scanned the nearby devices, I just clicked mine, as I know it was the right one.

    In this day and age, this is a very common problem. I live in a
    large apartment building, with 500 apartments one on top of an
    other. My router is frequently flooded with requests to join my
    network from devices I cannot identify and which clearly belong to
    others. Sometimes, when I am in a taxi or other vehicle,
    somebody’s phone, or earpiece, or headset, or camera wants to
    connect to my phone. I just ignore it. I move out of range, and
    the connect requests go away. It is nothing to worry about. Bottom
    line: you did the right thing by not entering the requested code.
    If you did, it wouldn’t be a crime. Just an annoyance.

    Hello, just turned on my mac, and got this notification saying
    Bluetooth pairing request, wanting me to enter a password.

    The name of the device is unknown to me and I am not pairing any
    device.

    Any idea why this is happening, how can I stop this please?

    The only devices paired in my mac are my magic keyboard and headset.

    Your help is very much appreciated, thank you in advance.
