Part II: Getting Organized and Online with Your Storm
online account (or when changing your password for an online account you
already have), fire up Password Keeper, press the menu key, touch-press
New, press the menu key, and then touch-press Random Password, as shown
in Figure 6-10. Voilà! A new password is automatically generated for you.
Figure 6-10:
Generate
a random
password.
Using random password generation makes sense in conjunction with
Password Keeper because you don't have to remember the randomly gener-
ated password that Password Keeper came up with for any of your online
accounts; that's Password Keeper's job.

Using your password

The whole point of Password Keeper is to let your BlackBerry Storm's
electronic brain do your password remembering for you. Imagine this sce-
nario: You can no longer live without owning a copy of the CD A Chipmunk
Christmas, so you surf over to your favorite online music store and attempt to
log in. You draw a blank on your password, but instead of seething, you take
out your Storm, open Password Keeper, and do a find.
Type the first letters of your account title in the Find field to search for the
title of your password. After you find the title, simply touch-press it, and the
screen for your account appears, conveniently listing the password. All you
have to do now is enter the password in the login screen for the online music
store, and Alvin, Simon, and Theodore will soon be wending their way to your
address, ready to sing "Chipmunk Jingle Bells."
