Excellent find re: the bluetooth keyboard. :) Very nice work.

I'm less worried about the process actually starting; the reasoning behind the prompt in the first place is that you ought to be able to hand your phone to a stranger and they ought not be able to completely own the phone just by fiddling with it for a bit. I don't think this password in the terminal was ever intended to provide any privacy mechanisms.

But interacting with the prompt via a bluetooth keyboard ought to be addressed; it's surprising and not at all obvious that it could happen.

Thanks
