About two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication, which requires an item that you have (for example, a smart card) and an item that you know (for example, a
pass phrase), is designed to provide additional security for your BlackBerry® device. You can use a smart card for two-factor authentication
when you log in to your device, or you can use a software token for two-factor authentication when you log in to a VPN, connect to a Wi-
Fi® network, or use your device with RSA® software as a hardware token.
If you use two-factor authentication, you must type your pass phrase when you
• unlock your device
• change a general security option on your device
• change a smart card option
• use your device with RSA software
• log in to a VPN
• connect to a Wi-Fi network
