Password to connect over BLE to Bangle.js 2

August 04, 2024 — Nico Cartron

Context

It had been a long time since I didn't tinker with my Bangle.js 2, and following my article about the upcoming Sensor Watch Pro, I decided to spend some time on it to see what was new in terms of applications.

The Problem

When connecting over BLE with my browser, it asked for a password. It was strange since I didn't remember having to enter a password in the past. I tried a few ones to no luck.

Fixing it

I had a look at the Bluetooth menu (Settings > Bluetooth) and indeed there were a few options that I didn't pay attention to before, including "Passkey":

After entering that password, I could connect and update the 23 (!!) applications that were outdated.

Wrap Up

There we go, an easy fix - I can now spend some time on my Bangle.js 2.

I realised that I still haven't written a proper article about using it as a daily driver - as promised in that article.
So I'll try to do that in the coming weeks!
