About the password keeper

Use the password keeper to create and store all your passwords. The password keeper is locked with a single password, so you can store all your passwords in one place.

Use the password keeper to generate random passwords that contain letters, numbers, and symbols.

The first time that you open the password keeper, you must create a password keeper password. The password keeper is designed to encrypt your passwords. Passwords should be decrypted when you type the password keeper password.

Warning:

The password keeper is designed to keep passwords that are stored in the password keeper; however, if you copy a password, you can paste it into other programs on the BlackBerry® device. While the password is copied on the clipboard, it is not encrypted.

About encryption keys

Encryption keys are used if your BlackBerry® device is integrated with an account that uses the BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ or BlackBerry Desktop Redirector. Encryption keys are designed to protect data as it travels between the BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BlackBerry Desktop Redirector and the device. Encryption keys should be generated automatically, but you can regenerate keys manually at any time.
