IMPORTANT:
Make sure you have changed your password at least once recently, before proceeding.
You can check this by login into UoM LearnOrg (lms.uom.lk). if your account needs a password reset, it will automatically prompt you to do so.

1. Open your browser and go to Gmail mail.google.com.

2. On the Gmail sign-in screen, enter your new address. Your usual username, followed by "@uom.ac.lk".

if you are already logged into your personal Gmail account (ending with gmail.com), proceed with "Add another account" option

Then click Next.

3. You will be redirected to the UOM ID page at auth.uom.ac.lk. This is the new single sign-on for all University services.

4.  Enter the UOM username (not your email, the text before the "@uom.ac.lk") and password you normally use. Then wait for the Cloudflare check to show a green tick. If it does not tick on its own, click it once.

5.  On your very first login, you will be asked to set up a mobile authenticator on your smart phone. This gives you a one-time security code.

Microsoft Authenticator app is recommended.

you can also use Google Authenticator app or FreeOTP app.
       

Install the app on your phone. Open it, add an account, and scan the QR code shown on screen.

6.  As we are setting up for the first time, in the "device name" textbox, give a name for your mobile phone.
Then type the six digit code from your app into the one-time code box, and click Submit.

7.  You are signed in to your new UOM email. Next time, just enter the username, password and the one time code from your app.
