According to examples, an apparatus may include a first hardware component including a first memory and a first processor. The first processor may initiate pairing between the first hardware component and a second hardware component to establish a trusted relationship between the first hardware component and a second hardware component. In response to a successful pairing between the first hardware component and the second hardware component, the processor may compare a first setting of the first hardware component with a second setting of the second hardware component. In response to a determination that the second setting corresponds to the first setting, the processor may authorize operation of the second hardware component.
