.. title:: BT_SMP_ALLOW_UNAUTH_OVERWRITE

.. option:: CONFIG_BT_SMP_ALLOW_UNAUTH_OVERWRITE

*Allow unauthenticated pairing for paired device*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

This option allows all unauthenticated pairing attempts made by the
peer where an unauthenticated bond already exists.
This would enable cases where an attacker could copy the peer device
address to connect and start an unauthenticated pairing procedure
to replace the existing bond. When this option is disabled in order
to create a new bond the old bond has to be explicitly deleted with
bt_unpair.
