Hi Guys,
I recently changed my password and rebooted my phone. Afterwards an old device was showing on my blue tooth which had not been there for over a year. I think the backup I had went back to Jan 2022.
Anyway Im a bit concerned about the security of my device as I have not connected to this device an a very long time but it is showing on my blue tooth list.
Has someone remote connected this device as I have not paired it in over a year? or is it something to do with my recent change password. last done jan 2022?
Please put my mind at rest or confirm I have a security problem

Hi @Matt369 . When you rebooted your phone, did you perform a Factory Reset? If so, you may have restored data stored then which would allow this device to show up again.
You can unpair/forget the device by doing the following:
Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Select the settings cog next to the device you want to unpair > Unpair.

It wasnt a factory reset. I just changed my password and signed out other devices which it said were signed in. Thanks for your reply
