Bluetooth Pairing Keys Location

Created: — modified: — tags: windows linux bluetooth

In case you need to switch between various OSes (be it Windows and Linux, or just various Linux distros).

On Linux:

/var/lib/bluetooth/[MAC address of Bluetooth]/linkkeys

you can as well just copy whole /var/lib/bluetooth directory.

On Windows:

Inside the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BTHPORT\Parameters\Keys

Note that to read it you need to run regedit this way:

psexec -s -i regedit.exe

And for that you need to download PsExec from sysinternals.
