An error occurred when authenticating. Errorcode: NRF_ERROR_TIMEOUT (0xd).

I am trying to pair my nRF52-DK with my Fitbit device for testing purposes. I am currently using the nRF Connect v3.6.1 desktop application. I can scan and connect to the Fitbit device just fine, but when I try and pair the device, I get this error:

Failed to authenticate (NRF_ERROR_TIMEOUT)
Error occurred when authenticating. Errorcode: NRF_ERROR_TIMEOUT (0xd).

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

But does the link still get encrypted ?

The timeout is perhaps only a "visual" bug, similar to what is described in this comment: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/51502/after-bonding-when-try-reconnect-failed-to-authenticate-happen-how-can-i-fix/245785#245785
