- Now click on "University login".
- Type your @domain.ac.za domain email address where it says: "Enter your email address" and create an easy password. (Write it down to use it again; this is not your computer (CAS) password.)
- You will receive an authentication email from no-reply@auth0user.net. The message on PharosOnline reads: "Verification email sent. Please verify before logging in". Look out for the email from Pharos with the subject: "Verify your account".

- Open it and follow step 5.
- In your inbox, open the "Verify your email" email from Pharos no-reply@auth0user.net. Now click on the orange block with the message: "VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT". Thank you, the authentication process is done!
- Go to www.PharosOnline.co.za again and click on the "Log in" option. Sign in with your @domain.ac.za email address and the password you created.
- From now onwards you can sign in on the left side by going to the "Sign in" and "University login" options with only your @domain.ac.za e-mail address.
