How will this affect me?
Once the feature is in place you will have to enter a PIN number (received via text) to access tools in the employee center (i.e. direct deposit, paychecks, and your personal information). The two factor authentication page will only come up if you are using a computer or mobile device that is OFF campus and you are trying to access an area of myTCU that is protected by this security feature.
Keep in mind that connecting to myTCU through a data plan service like AT&T or Verizon (even if you are physically located on campus) is still considered off campus since you are not doing it through the TCU network.
What do I need to do?
All you need to do is verify that you have a current cell phone number in myTCU since this tool will use that number to send you a PIN via text message. Simply login to myTCU, select employee center, and then click the cell phone link to update your information. Soon, a short video on how this feature works will arrive via email. It is understood that not everyone has the ability to receive a text so there are plans to add a voice call feature in the near future which will account for these situations and provide TCU faculty/staff with more flexibility.
