Belkin Numeric Keypad - unable to verify

This device is recognized in Bluetooth but Big Sur requires verification and the only option offered (hit the key next to the Shift key) is not an option (it has no shift key). So, the device is recognized in Bluetooth and can be connected but not verified - it connects for a sec or two then disconnects.

How to force Bluetooth recognition of Magic Keyboard for pairing when there is no way to plug in a cable to a wireless keyboard Have replaced my old 2011 MacMini base unit with an M1 and hope to use existing mouse & Magic Keyboard. Mouse recognised but keyboard not and of course it has no means of using a lightning connector if no socket for any cable.

Mac OS Monterey 12.3.1 Bluetooth On/Off As a former thread (Monterey and Bluetooth - Apple Community) that posed a related question that remained unanswered is now automatically closed, I am starting a new thread along with its resolution as I cannot find any helpful answers to the original. I do wish Apple would review unanswered questions before closing. An answer: Under Mac OS Monterey (at least for 12.3.1), Bluetooth on/off functions are now under a security lock that requires authentication. The problem is that the lock/unlock icon that leads to this authentication is not displayed without the Shift-Option access, and once it is displayed, it is so tiny you may not notice it. So: 1) Holding the Shift & Option keys down click on the Bluetooth icon (either on the taskbar, if it is displayed), or from the main page of System Preferences. 2) This will display the tiny lock icon to the right of the "Turn Bluetooth On [Off]" button. 3) Click on the tiny lock, which should initiate authentication (fingerprint or password). 4) Now the button is enabled and you can turn BT on and off. Note that some of the prior functions such as resetting the entire BT system, or removing all paired BT devices are no longer available even with this method under Monterey. Cheers.
