its possible.. a 4 digit pass key wont stop a hacker from hacking in. it will slow them down and make them spend a extra 30seconds

It's not a pre-determined pas key tho. When something tries to connect to my phone via bluetooth it asks me if I want to accept it. If I do, then it asks me to enter a number, beit 4, 5, 6, etc digit number. The other device then has enter the same number. Now if I enter 1234 then it's easy to guess, but the humber could be anything, and can be different everytime. an 11 digit number thought of by me isn't just gonna slow em down by just 30seconds is it
