Overview

BlackBerry® ID is a single, master key to BlackBerry products, sites, services and applications, including BlackBerry® Protect™ and the BlackBerry App World™ storefront. BlackBerry ID: One login. One password. One less thing to worry about.
Complete the following to create a BlackBerry ID:
Note: We recommend using an email address that can be accessed through a desktop browser to keep record of the account notification emails.

1. From a PC, go to www.blackberry.com/blackberryid and click the link to Register for a BBID.
2. Review the BlackBerry ID Terms and Conditions, then click I Agree to continue.
3. Complete the required fields on the BlackBerry ID sign-up page, then click Save.
   Note: The Screen Name is a unique display name used to provide a way to identify the BlackBerry user's presence in various BlackBerry products and services without revealing any personal information. (Ex. When writing a review for an application in BlackBerry® App World)
   
   Note: The Username is the BlackBerry ID accounts login name as well as the accounts associated email address.
   
   Note: When creating a BlackBerry ID, the account password can not match either the recovery question or recovery answer.
   
   
4. A confirmation message will be displayed advising that the BlackBerry ID has been created successfully, click OK to continue. This will also send a confirmation email to the email address used for the accounts Username.
5. As part of the BlackBerry ID creation process an email will be sent asking to validate the email address used as the BlackBerry ID Username. To validate the email address click the link within the email message and when prompted enter the BlackBerry ID password
   
   Note: The link within the validation email will expire after a 24 hour period. Please be sure to click on the validation link before the link expires. If the validation email in step 5 does not arrive in the email inbox please be sure it has not been blocked by a local or Internet Service Provider SPAM or junk filter.
