Hello,
doeas anybody know, where to find bluetooth pairing keys for connected devices in sonoma?
I want to make my bluetooth devices work also in windows/linux.
In monterey f.ex. they were located in keychain under MobileBluetooth entry.

But in sonoma I cant find them.
Thank you for help
 
For anybody, who faced the same problem:
In terminal you need to execute this command:

Bash:
sudo security find-generic-password -ga "D4:9A:20:0A:0D:59"
with MAC address of your BT device
and there you will find some output containg XML structure. This XML structure contains something like
<key>LinkKey</key>\012\011<string>CC-52-F8-33-68-D3-D7-5E-53-B6-87-8D-7C-56-18-D6</string>

and that string CC 52 F8 .... you need to paste into Windows registry record
 
Well, I tried it and it did not work. I guess I had the latest version
I just tried it with Hackintool and it worked fine with my xbox 360 controller.

  1. Pair with Windows 11
  2. Reboot
  3. Pair with MacOs. (Reboot). The first time I ran Hackintool it didn't detect/export the reg file correctly. The xbox device/mac address was not present in the file. FYI: You need to enter the username and password for EACH bluetooth device paired with macos TWICE. In my case I had to do it 10 times!!!
  4. Reboot into Windows.
  5. In Windows 11. (You need to fix registry permissions for the keys or use psexec ,etc) Then import the registry file created by Hackintool.
  6. Reboot
