Neighbor Samsung TV sends prompts for account login to my Galaxy phone

I don't own a Samsung TV but one neighbor keeps sending requests to my Galaxy S24 Ultra which prompts me to scan a QR code in order to login with Samsung account.

This shows as a prompt on my end if I'd like to login with my account by scanning the QR code displayed on their Samsung TV.

How can I either limit or disable this feature, we're not sharing the same network and I don't think it's part of Bluetooth.

Perhaps it may be using the "Nearby device scanning" but if disabled won't I have issues with my SmartTag2?

I won't be able to knock on every door and ask all my neighbors.

Unfortunately, the only way is to disable your Bluetooth while at home, or tell your neighbour to stop.

The other thing you can do is turn off "nearby device scanning".

Settings>connections >more connection settings. Toggle it off. This may not be ideal if you use this feature at home.

Unfortunately I did have the same from my next door neighbour when he bought a Bluetooth speaker ,and kept hitting my Samsung Tv instead. 

I think it might have been one of his grandkids. 

My situation differs slightly as I'm not in a block of flats ,so a quick quiet word settled the issue. 

I hope you stop experiencing this situation soon @dhimdi  🤞

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.
