 ### Bluetooth Pairing Request during provisioning
 
-ESP-IDF now enforces link encryption requirement while performing GATT write on characteristics of provisioning service. This results in a pairing pop-up dialog, if link is not encrypted. This feature is enabled by default. In order to disable this feature and fallback to earlier behaviour of no pairing pop up during provisioning, please set CONFIG_WIFI_PROV_BLE_FORCE_ENCRYPTION=n in the sdkconfig or unselect the configuration using "idf.py menuconfig" .
+ESP-IDF now has functionality to enforce link encryption requirement while performing GATT write on characteristics of provisioning service. This will however result in a pairing pop-up dialog, if link is not encrypted. This feature is disabled by default. In order to enable this feature, please set `CONFIG_WIFI_PROV_BLE_FORCE_ENCRYPTION=y` in the sdkconfig or select the configuration using "idf.py menuconfig" .
