About: Shaw ID

[#1]

Shaw ID is a single login for Shaw products and services like My Shaw, BlueCurve TV, Shaw Go WiFi and more. It consists of an email address username and password. Each Shaw account has one Primary Shaw ID and can invite up to four household members to create secondary Shaw IDs, providing additional household members their own logins. Only the Primary account holder can create a Primary Shaw ID.

To get started see How to: Create a Shaw ID.

Using Shaw ID

Shaw ID allows you to easily sign in to services that use Shaw accounts. One of the primary uses is accessing My Shaw, which allows you to manage your Shaw bill, account, and services. 

Some of the best uses of My Shaw:

• View your current bill
• Make online payments 
• Refresh your TV channels
• Restart your modem

Shaw ID allows you to set up your various devices to Shaw Go Wifi, or log in to the BlueCurve TV app. Multiple Shaw ID's can be created for your account to let your entire household enjoy the benefits of your Shaw services on the go.

Primary vs. secondary accounts

A Primary Shaw ID provides the Primary account holder with full administrative access to My Shaw and the ability to create and remove Secondary Shaw IDs.
