I have an HP keyboard and have paired it with my RPI3B. I can
eventually get it to pair, but it takes many many attempts until it
finally pairs so I can trust it and use it. The latest bluez on Arch
Linux is 5.55 which is installed and bluez-tools is 0.2.0 I get this
when I attempt a pair:
[bluetooth]# pair 08:B7:38:11:A6:C2
Attempting to pair with 08:B7:38:11:A6:C2
[CHG] Device 08:B7:38:11:A6:C2 Connected: yes

[agent] Passkey: 104817
Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationFailed
[CHG] Device 08:B7:38:11:A6:C2 Connected: no
I restart bluetooth, restart the keyboard and still get this. I keep
trying until it finally pairs. It feels like some sort of race
condition or timing or something that it sometimes connects and
sometimes not. Once paired/trusted, it seems to always work.
In the journal, I always get these messages when I start bluetooth. My
main.conf has only one change from the repo "AutoEnable=true" added at
the end:

Hello,
The Mooltipass team has indeed seen this quite often recently.
https://github.com/mooltipass/minible/issues/205
https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/55
We still need to provide the requested trace :/
