Sometimes when I open my AirPods they are connecting to my gf's MacBook and/or iPhone even if my iPhone/MacBook are much closer to the air pods. I haven't pared them with any of she's devices and have not accepted any connections.
How can I prevent other people from using my AirPods? How to disable auto connect to other devices?
Thank you for those details morimoto_ltd,
If you’re not signed in to your Apple ID on her devices the AirPods shouldn’t automatically connect as it requires your Apple ID for that feature to work. That information can be found in the article Switch AirPods between iPhone and other devices that was previously linked. When you’re seeing the AirPods connect on her Mac and iPhone is that in the Bluetooth settings? If you’re unsure, you can view the Bluetooth settings for each device following the steps below.
For Mac, click the Apple logo towards the top-left, followed by System Preferences > Bluetooth. If you see your AirPods in the list of devices, you can move your cursor over the AirPods name, then click the (x) towards the right of the name to forget that connection.
For iOS and iPadOS devices you’ll want to go in to Settings > Bluetooth, tap the (i) towards the right of the AirPods name, followed by Forget This Device.
If that doesn’t resolve the issue you’ll want to proceed with resetting your AirPods. Those steps can be found in the following article.

Greetings morimoto_ltd,
Being able to manage what devices your AirPods connect with is important, and Apple Support Communities is a great place for help!
Are you signed in to your Apple ID for iCloud on your girlfriend’s devices? If so, you can sign out of iCloud on that device. Another option to prevent AirPods from automatically switching between devices, is to go in to Settings > Bluetooth on your iPhone, tap (i) next to the name of your AirPods, then tap Connect to this iPhone, followed by When Last Connect to This iPhone. This information can also be found in the following article.

No, we have completely different accounts and don't even have a "family access" or smth. They just connecting to she's MacBook.
But I just found out that on she's MacBook their name is a bit different. It has 'Find My' at the end. May be this detail will help. Also i remember that we sometimes use my iPhone as a wifi, so maybe that's the reason too. Anyway they are still connecting and I still need help with preventing this behavior.
