I've done the above.
I tapped forget and paired my HumanWare BI 40 again.
Reinstalled brltty and selected HumanWare Brailliant BI 40 and restarted brltty.
The exact same result.
I get a pairing request every single time I unlock my device (when
brltty is running and my Braille display is powered on).
I then need to enter the BT pin code to reconnect my Braille device.
I installed latest Google BrailleBack from the Play store and I
observe no such behaviour.
I configured BrailleBack to my liking and my Braille display is
reconnected without the annoying BT pairing request that require a
pin.
Thanks,
