TouchNet Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Starting September 17, 2021, TouchNet will begin requiring Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in order to log in to the administrative functions of TouchNet.  MFA is not required for customers purchasing items through a TouchNet store.

  2. For each authentication method, you will be asked to verify the method of authentication, by entering a verification code.
  3. Once this is complete, you will be logged into TouchNet.

  • You will not need to download an app to complete any part of this MFA process.
