Most of us have numerous user ID numbers, passwords, and PIN numbers for accessing computer applications at work, as well as for services on the internet, and bank ATM or credit cards. It is difficult to remember all these access codes. And, we are all concerned with Identity theft!
Where can we safely keep all of these personal identification codes, and be able to refer to them quickly and easily as needed?
If you own a BlackBerry® Smartphone, and you are using software release 3.8 or higher, you already have the solution in hand. The BlackBerry Smartphone includes an application called Password Keeper. This application allows you to organize, store, access and view your personal identification codes securely. Password Keeper is accessed by clicking an icon on the menu screen and entering a second password. Once you open "Password Keeper" you can lookup, view, add, or delete any of your passwords in seconds.
If your BlackBerry Smartphone is deployed via a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (see http://www.atsgi.com/email hosting/bes.htm) any data which you enter into "Password Keeper" on your Smartphone will be automatically backed up wirelessly.
If your BlackBerry smartphone is lost or stolen, and you have the password option turned on, your personal identification data will be safe. Even better, if your business or BlackBerry Hosting Service is providing a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, and you lose your BlackBerry smartphone, the service provider can remotely erase the memory of your BlackBerry when it is turned on, within a wireless coverage area. Once you recover or replace your Smartphone, your password data can be securely downloaded wirelessly and restored from the BlackBerry Server to your new or recovered Smartphone. By using Password Keeper you will have easy access to your passwords and peace of mind knowing your passwords are safe.Visit
