Restoring your BBM contacts and groups
The first time that you open BBM, you are prompted for your BlackBerry ID. If you have used BBM before, consider the
following:
If you are switching BlackBerry devices, you can use the Device Switch feature in BlackBerry Link on your computer or
on a device running BlackBerry 7 or later to transfer your device data, including your contacts and groups from BBM
6.2 or earlier, to a new device.
If you previously associated BBM with your BlackBerry ID (for example, on your current device), you can sign in with the
same BlackBerry ID to restore your BBM data over the wireless network.
After setting up BBM, your contacts, profile, and groups are automatically backed up over the wireless network based on
your BlackBerry ID. It's still a good idea to regularly save a backup file for your device on a computer using BlackBerry Link
in case your device is lost, stolen, or corrupted.

1. On your BlackBerry 10 device, download the Password Keeper app from BlackBerry World storefront.
2. On the home screen, tap Password Keeper.
