# About BLUETOOTH(R) Security <BLUETOOTH equipped models>

The BLUETOOTH wireless technology has an authentication function, which allows you to control communication with other devices.
The authentication function helps you prevent unwanted anonymous BLUETOOTH devices from accessing your VAIO computer. The first time two BLUETOOTH devices communicate, a common passkey (a password required for authentication) should be identified to register both devices. Once a device is registered, there is no need to re-enter the passkey.
Your VAIO computer can prevent unauthorized BLUETOOTH devices from finding it and control which devices are allowed to connect with it.
For details, click (Start) and Help and Support to open Windows Help and Support, and then enter “BLUETOOTH” in the search box.
