jyasskin has just created a new issue for https://github.com/WebBluetoothCG/web-bluetooth: == Provide a way to pair when the user's paying attention == https://webbluetoothcg.github.io/web-bluetooth/#error-handling says that when the UA receives an "Insufficient Authentication" error, it should "attempt to increase the security level of the connection". However, increasing the security level may require pairing, which may require the user to interact with both their OS and the device, which we should only ask them to do after the site tells them what's going on. We should 1) give the site a specific error message saying that it needs to ask the user to pair the device, and 2) give the site a way to trigger pairing when the user says they're ready. Triggering pairing should probably use the "[allowed to show a popup](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsers.html#allowed-to-show-a-popup)" language that `requestDevice()` uses. See https://github.com/WebBluetoothCG/web-bluetooth/issues/137
