How to use Password Keeper in your Blackberry Phone

Password Keeper is a simple and yet effective application of Blackberry. It is an application where you can store your username and password of your online accounts or any other important information you want to store. It is a useful tool so you can save time and protect your accounts.

Here is an example situation. You are browsing the internet and trying to access online using your account. However, you can’t remember your password that matches your username. Your login attempts failed and your account has been locked. Then to get another password you call their costumer hotline and wait for hours or days before your retrieve your accounts. Now you have wasted too much time trying only to access your forgotten account.

That’s why Password Keeper has been created in order to assist Blackberry users to store their valuable accounts.

Password Keeper is a free application but not all Blackberry phones had it. You may need to specifically request that your service provider install it on your BlackBerry Phone.

Setting a password for Password Keeper

The first time you access Password Keeper, you’re prompted to enter a password. Be sure to remember the password you choose because this is the password to all your passwords or your Master Password. Do not forget your master password because there is no way of retrieving it. Every time you access the Password Keeper, you will be prompted to enter your master password. Well, having to remember one password is easier than having to remember many.

You can now fillup the following information about your accounts.

✦ Title: This is to describe the password-protected account — My Blogspot, for example.

✦ Username: This is where you enter the username for the account.

✦ Password: Enter the password for the account here.

✦ Website: Put the Web site address (its URL) here.

✦ Notes: Not exactly crucial, but the Notes field does give you a bit of room to add a comment or two.

Make sure you press Save on the prompt upon exiting this screen; otherwise your changes here will be discarded.
