About smart password entry

If you use two-factor authentication and your BlackBerry® device password or smart card password is numeric, you might be able to use smart password entry in some password fields. When smart password entry is turned on, your device is designed to remember the format of a password that you type in a password field. When you type the password again, your device applies a smart password filter to the password field. If the password is numeric, a 123 indicator appears beside the password field and you do not have to press the Alt key to type numbers. If the password is alphanumeric, an ABC indicator appears beside the password field.

To use smart password entry, two-factor authentication must be turned on and the correct smart card driver and smart card reader must be installed on your device.

Turn off smart password entry

You can turn off smart password entry to reduce the chance that someone might guess your BlackBerry® device password or smart card password based on the smart password filter that your device applies to password fields.

1.In the device options, click Security Options.

2.Click General Settings.

3.Set the Smart Password Entry field to Disabled.

4.Press the Menu key.
