![If you use a smart card certificate to authenticate with your device, after you connect your smart card reader to your device, your device requestsauthentication from the smart card each time that you unlock your device.You can install multiple smart card drivers on your device, including drivers for microSD smart cards, but you can only authenticate to one smartcard at a time. If you are authenticating using a microSD smart card and you want to transfer media files between your microSD smart cardand your computer in mass storage mode, you must temporarily turn off advanced authentication or select a different authentication option.If the S/MIME Support Package for BlackBerry® devices is installed on your device, you can use smart card certificates to send S/MIME-protected messages.About multi-factor authenticationMulti-factor authentication is designed to provide additional security for your BlackBerry® device, and can be either two-factor or three-factor.Two-factor authentication requires an item that you have (for example, a smart card) and an item that you know (for example, a pass phrase).Three-factor authentication requires a biometric smart card, and enables you to use a fingerprint to unlock your device, launch applications,or perform other actions on your device. You can also use the connection to your smart card reader to authenticate, without requiring a smartcard to be present.You can use a smart card for multi-factor authentication when you unlock your device, or you can use a software token for multi-factorauthentication when you use your device with RSA® software as a hardware token. If you have a Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry device, you canalso use a software token for multi-factor authentication when you log in to a VPN or connect to a Wi-Fi network.Depending on your BlackBerry device model and the multi-factor authentication settings that you choose, you might need to type your passphrase when you perform one of the following actions:• unlock your BlackBerry device• change a general security option on your BlackBerry device• change a smart card option• use your BlackBerry device with RSA software• log in to a VPN• connect to a Wi-Fi networkTurn on two-factor authentication1.
