Description

### What Happened?

I wanted to connect my MX Keys bluetooth keyboard, and the message displayed was... weird ? unclear ? uncorrect ?

![Screenshot from 2023-05-02 10 18 30](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/52816705/235651017-65eb91cc-7ede-4532-81cb-1ddf4d1edcaf.png)

There isn't "code displayed" on my keyboard.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. connect a bluetooth keyboard
2. wait for the pairing message

### Expected Behavior

The message should be modified.

For instance, this is what I get when I connect my bluetooth keyboard on Gnome

Please enter the following PIN on "%s" . Then press "Return" on the keyboard.

I guess I understand what elementary OS is trying to "tell" me, but it's unclear.
I'm also wondering if it's (only) a "wording" problem or if it's something deeper in the code.
