Bluetoooth pairing fails when connecting to phone

I went to My OSMC → Networking → Bluetooth, clicked Enable Bluetooth and Start/Stop Discovery. My phone shows up in the devices list. I click on the device name and select Pair With Pin, but then I get a “Pairing failed” error, and nothing appears on my phone. The same happens with Connect Without Pin. Also tested with both Android (Samsung Galaxy) and iPhone, with same results.
