Your Nexus username and password are the same as your 8-character username (e.g. j25rober) and password. This username and password are also used to sign into WatIAM and other UWaterloo websites.

However, any saved passwords on your various mobile and computing devices will not be automatically updated. This may cause sign in issues on those devices therefore they should be modified or deleted. For additional support regarding this, take a look at the articles below:

Other applications/connections may also contain saved password information and you will need to update your username and password there as well. These applications and mappings may display an unable to connect error and if prompted, you should update the username and password.

If you have used the Map Network Drive feature in Windows to map "uwaterloo.ca" drives, we recommend hovering the mouse over the mapped drive, and clicking the secondary mouse button (usually the right-click), and then choosing Disconnect
