Confirming that a BlackBerry device is bound to the correct smart card
After a user turns on two-factor authentication, whenever a BlackBerry® device prompts the user to insert the smart
card into the BlackBerry® Smart Card Reader, the BlackBerry device prompt indicates the label and the card type of
the correct (bound) smart card.
The user can also view smart card information in the Security options on the BlackBerry device.

Unbinding the smart card from a BlackBerry device
When you or a user start the process that permits a BlackBerry® device to permanently deletes its stored user and
application data, the BlackBerry device deletes the smart card binding information from its NV store. When the
process completes, a user can authenticate with the BlackBerry device using a new smart card.
You can delete the smart card binding information from the BlackBerry device manually in the following ways:
•
Send the Erase Data and Disable Device IT administration command to the BlackBerry device to delete the
binding between a user's current smart card and the BlackBerry device.
•
When the user turns off two-factor authentication, the BlackBerry device turns off two-factor authentication
with the installed smart card and deletes the smart card binding information from the BlackBerry device.
