Password Keeper
You can use the Password Keeper app to store all your passwords, usernames, and security questions in one place. If you 
want a password that is difficult to guess, you can also use Password Keeper to generate random passwords that contain 
numbers, letters, and symbols.
Password Keeper is designed to encrypt your passwords to protect them. When you enter your password for the Password 
Keeper app, the passwords that you store in the app are decrypted so you can see them.
Transfer password records
To transfer password records, you must first back up the password data as part of the backup file during the device switch 
process, or export the password records to a backup file.
If you saved the backup file to a media card, insert the media card into your new BlackBerry device. If you didn't save the 
backup file to a media card, you can use BlackBerry Link to transfer the records.
