    If you hover on it (without clicking, resist the temptation) it says it is for “Mark/unmark this device as trusted”.

      Which in turn doesn’t quite explain what happens. For me, the relevant difference was that ‘trusted’ devices autoconnect.

        Well there’s “trusting” a device, “pairing” with a device and “connecting” to a device. Which need to be done in that order

        Which makes it even more confusing what the button does

          This bastard of an app manages to expose too much of the underlying processes and logic, of which I don’t care, in the utterly uninformative format. The OP forgot to mention that upon first pairing my headphones, I have to fend off three different notifications about ‘auth requests’, that provide me with no explanation what happens if I do or don’t satisfy said requests. These also reappear after the headphones disconnect for some inexplicable reason, until I give up on learning further details and click ‘always auth’. Which seems to help with the disconnections. Apparently some audio profiles are also occasionally unavailable unless I appease the blue fucker with ‘always auth’.

          Sometimes the headphones fail to connect, and all I get is some cryptic error message, with the only understandable word being ‘timeout’.
