About BlackBerry ID

About BlackBerry ID

A BlackBerry ID gives you convenient access to multiple BlackBerry products and services. After you create a BlackBerry ID, you can use your email address and password to log in to any BlackBerry product that supports BlackBerry ID. With BlackBerry ID, you can manage apps that you downloaded from the BlackBerry World storefront and download the apps when you switch devices. You should sign in with the same BlackBerry ID on all of your BlackBerry devices..

If you previously created a BlackBerry ID, you must use it when you set up your new device instead of creating a new BlackBerry ID. You can log in to both a tablet and smartphone using the same BlackBerry ID.

Benefits of your BlackBerry ID

More and more apps and services are using your BlackBerry ID and it's becoming an integral part of a number of apps and features.

Your BlackBerry ID can help you manage the apps and other items you download from the BlackBerry App World storefront or the BlackBerry World storefront. When you switch BlackBerry devices, you can reinstall the apps that you downloaded on your previous device from BlackBerry World or BlackBerry App World, if versions of those apps are available for your new device.

With BBM 7.0 or later, your BBM contacts, profile, and group memberships are automatically backed up over the wireless network, and are associated with your BlackBerry ID. When you switch devices, your BBM contacts, profile, and group memberships are automatically added to your new device when you sign in using your BlackBerry ID.

You can use your BlackBerry ID with a number of other apps and services, such as BlackBerry Protect and Print To Go.

You can also use your BlackBerry ID to access a number of BlackBerry websites and services, such as BlackBerry Beta Zone.
