Sign in securely to My Shaw with your Shaw ID using Two-Step verification.
What is Two-Step Verification?
When two-step verification is enabled on a Shaw ID, My Shaw will detect when someone is attempting to sign in (with the correct Shaw ID and password) with a new browser. My Shaw will then prompt for the six-digit code that is sent to your registered mobile phone or email address.
Two-step verification is a new type of authentication , which requires you to provide two independent ways to confirm your identity. The authentication system validates the two separate sets of credentials and grants access only if both are confirmed to be valid.
Two-step verification thereby reduces the risk of another person accessing your account even if they know your password.
