Apple TV popup stating that "Bluetooth Device" requires additional information to connect to this network.

I was on the bus recently and there was an Apple TV popup stating that "Bluetooth Device" requires additional information to connect to this network. I‘ve never owned an Apple TV in my life and accendetally clicked continue.

Also there was a popup asking if I want to autofill a password. I‘ve attached images of this. Is there anything to worry about?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 17

Nothing to worry about. From your description, it seems that you (your device) didn’t complete the connecting attempt. Even if you connected, and if you also supplied the “additional information”, you would have the option to send things that you choose; not for the other device to retrieve things from you without acknowledgment (just the device name). The autofill would apply to any passwords that you fill in for that device, if it was for your own services through that device.

It appears that the bus organization uses an Apple TV box for their on-board AV system. Or else the bus stopped close to a nearby box outside the bus. It seems that this shouldn’t be accessible to passengers, though. Configuration error on their part, perhaps?
