Smart cards
About using a smart card with your device Smart cards store certificates and private keys. You can use a smart card reader to import certificates from a smart card to the
key store on your BlackBerry® device, but you cannot import private keys. As a result, private key operations such as signing
and decryption use the smart card, and public key operations such as verification and encryption use the public certificates on
your device.
If you use a smart card certificate to authenticate with your device, after you connect your smart card reader to your device, your device requests authentication from the smart card each time that you unlock your device.
You can install multiple smart card drivers on your device, including drivers for microSD smart cards, but you can only
authenticate to one smart card at a time. If you are authenticating using a microSD smart card and you want to transfer media files between your microSD smart card and your computer in mass storage mode, you must temporarily turn off two-factor
authentication or select a different authentication option.
If the S/MIME Support Package for BlackBerry® devices is installed on your device, you can use smart card certificates to send
S/MIME-protected messages.
Turn on two-factor authentication To perform this task, you must have set a password for your BlackBerry® device and have the smart card password that you
received with your smart card.
1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the  Options icon.
2. Click  Security > Password .
• To use a smart card and your device password to unlock your device, set the  Authentication Type field to Smart Card .
• To use your connected smart card reader (even if the smart card is not inserted) and your device password to unlock your device, set the  Authentication Type  field to Proximity . Select the  Prompt for Device Password  check box.
3. Press the 
 key >  Save.

About smart password entry If you use advanced 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, advanced 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 To perform this task, you must be using a smart card and a password to unlock your BlackBerry® device.You can turn off smart password entry to reduce the chance that someone might guess your device password or smart card
password based on the smart password filter that your device applies to password fields.
