Suggestion. Implementing a one-time, dynamically generated PIN code system for Bluetooth pairing, I'm thinking this could significantly enhance security and privacy for Bluetooth devices, i.e. earbuds, headphones, projectors, and tv app components.

I thought that was pretty much in place already.   Every time I have paired something via BT (except headphones), I had to enter a code on the device to be paired, in the case of devices where there would be no place to enter a code, I pretty sure I had to accept the pairing on my phone.  So really, something can't be paired with your phone without you knowing about it.

Yes you're correct. Maybe I'm thinking of device discovery in music apps and audio mirroring that rely on i wifi and Bluetooth do they require a one time password i haven't tried this feature yet.
