Log In to UOM email for the first time

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". 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) 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. Install the app on your phone. Open it, add an account, and scan the QR code shown on screen.
6. Type the six digit code from your app into the one-time code box, give your device a name, 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.
