How to Sign In to RISSNET
Users provided a User ID, Password, and One-Time Passcode for secure access to RISSNET via the RISS Public Website will enter their User ID and Password into the areas provided on the dedicated RISSNET Sign In Webpage, which is accessible by clicking the “Sign In” link in the upper right corner of the RISS Public Website home page.
In addition to the User ID and Password, authorized users are also required to click on the RISSNET Terms Of Use and Privacy Policies agreement check box to confirm that they have read and will abide by the stipulations contained in those documents. Users can click on underlined “Terms of Use” and “Privacy” words to be presented with the text of those documents.
Accessing two-factor resources on RISSNET
If a user is authorized to access any resources available through the RISSNET Portal that require two-factor authentication (something you have, something you know), the user will be prompted for a one-time passcode (something you have) immediately after entering their sign in information.
If the user chooses an incorrect one-time passcode or cancels out of the request prompt, they will still be permitted to access single-factor resources via the RISSNET Portal as long as they have a valid and active User ID and Password.
