BlackBerry Protect
BlackBerry Protect includes features designed to help you find your BlackBerry device and help protect your device's data
if your device is ever lost or stolen. You can manage up to seven devices from your BlackBerry Protect account.
Finding and protecting a lost device
After you turn on BlackBerry Protect in your device settings, visit
BlackBerry ID. On the BlackBerry Protect website, you can view the current location of your device on a map, make it ring
(even if it's in silent mode), or display a custom message on your locked device to provide instructions about how to contact
you. If your device is stolen, you can remotely lock it, change the password, or delete all of the data from your device.
If you add a work email account to your device, your administrator might disable BlackBerry Protect, or the ability to
remotely change your password or locate your device.
