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.
TouchNet MFA setup instructions
- Go to the TouchNet login page and follow the instructions to set up your email address and phone number. If you have trouble logging into TouchNet, please contact IT at 487-1111.
- For each authentication method, you will be asked to verify the method of authentication, by entering a verification code.
- Once this is complete, you will be logged into TouchNet.
Notes:
- You will be required to verify your identity every 24 hours.
- You will not need to download an app to complete any part of this MFA process.
Log in to TouchNet with MFA
- Go to the TouchNet login page and enter your username and password. If you have trouble logging into TouchNet, please contact IT at 487-1111.
- You will be prompted to select your authentication method (Phone/Email).

- When “Phone” is chosen, you will get another screen that asks if you wish to receive a call or a text message.

- Enter the verification code you receive.
Text messages should look like: Use verification code: xxxxxx for TouchNetUcc-CRT authentication
Email messages should look like: "Subject: Global Payments Customer - CERT account email verification code" or "From: Microsoft on behalf of Global Payments Customer - CERT"
