I think it was my fault, I've messed too much in example;/ now working as expected when introduced solution from here: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ Not see bonds left any more.

I dont think i was ever seeing this issue in example code, its been a while since I was working on this, but i believe the problem had been caused by me mixing and matching example code from various SDK's for how to get bonding to work. If you're seeing a similar problem you should probably make a new question about it?

I'm struggle with same problem, eventually what is solution? Reproducible on ble_app_hids_mouse SDK v10 example.

I am having the same issue. How did you resolve your issue? I am using SDK v.11

I think i have managed to resolve my problem. it seems to have been caused by some confusion between examples I found of how to implement bonding between various versions of the SDK.

I've seen it happen on an iPad and with Master Control Panel. In Master Control Panel it will show the words "Bonded: True" at the top and will not start the bonding process when I press the Bond button. On the iPad it will not open up the pairing passkey request box and if I look under Settings->Bluetooth->devices it shows the board I'm using as a remembered device.

What is your central devices? How do they seem to act as if they are bonded?

I am currently checking for those events in my device manager event handler and I disconnect if either of the last two occur. Most of my confusion is in how the central acts after the disconnect. The centrals seem to act as if they are bonded despite bonding not having occurred correctly. I have also tried adding in a line to delete bonds after that disconnect occurs, but that still causes the centrals to think they are bonded. Do I need to send some notification to the centrals to make them aware that I am not bonded correctly?

To me it sounds like bonding is not occuring, since you get insufficient aithentication.

It is up to the application to react when pairing fails.

You will get the BLE_GAP_EVT_AUTH_STATUS event.

With it you can check the auth_status field in the ble_gap_evt_auth_status_t struct to see the security status:

BLE_GAP_SEC_STATUS_SUCCESS (0x00)
BLE_GAP_SEC_STATUS_TIMEOUT (0x01)
BLE_GAP_SEC_STATUS_PASSKEY_ENTRY_FAILED (0x81)

Implement the reaction you want when pairing is not successful.
