Please look at this path: \examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_gls
The documentation is here: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.1.0/ble_sdk_app_gls.html?cp=8_1_4_2_2_11

I can't find ble_app_gls example in nRF5_SDK_16.0.0 source code. Could you provide folder path? Besides, can I test pairing with passkey using nRF connect?

Hi Snowuyl,
I'm not familiar with the code provided.
However, what I can see in your log and your screenshot is that the two devices just connected and not bonded.
Note that the passkey bonding process only occurs when the two device bond, not when connect.

Usually bonding happens automatically when the central try to read/write an encrypted characteristic.

You can test bonding by click the lock button in nRF Connect:

For passkey bonding, please try to test with our ble_app_gls example.
