Still struggling with this. I have posted here
https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/55 as well. I cannot figure out
why/how it eventually pairs, but I have to type in the provided code
many many times and then inexplicably it pairs. The latest Arch
package is 5.58. I have also built the latest from git and get the
same thing. There was a comment that maybe a couple commits seemed to
fix it for another user, but not for me. Is there anything I can do to
help get this resolved? It is pretty strange that I can pair a phone
for audio, but not a keyboard, one of the earliest BT devices... It
does not seem to be the particular keyboard. I've tried 2 different
ones and get eh same result: Failed to pair:
org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationFailed

recently upgraded to 5.59 and still cannot pair a keyboard. I posted
again to https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/55. If I can perform
more diagnostics, please advise. I would really like to be able to
pair and use a keyboard with my RPi. If it is a driver issue, please
help me point it out so it can be fixed there. If it is bluez, please
let me know how I can help.

The problem is on pairing, and since it is connecting over
classic/BR-EDR the whole process is handled by your controller, so I
guess you will need to figure out why it is not pairing when using
this method.
