About smart password entry

If you use advanced authentication and your BlackBerry smartphone 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 smartphone is designed to remember the format of a password that you type in a password field. When you type the password again, your smartphone 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, advanced authentication must be turned on and the correct smart card driver and smart card reader must be installed on your smartphone.

Turn off smart password entry

To perform this task, you must be using a smart card and a password to unlock your BlackBerry® smartphone.

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