The word interface has existed as a noun since the 1880s. The metaphorical meaning, ‘a place or means of interactions between two systems, organizations, etc.’, to which many people object, was first used before the literal, computing meaning. It has become widespread in this extended use as both a noun and a verb in all sorts of spheres. Some people object to it on the grounds that there are plenty of the other words that could be used instead. Although it is now well established as a part of Standard English, if you wish to avoid it in certain contexts you could use interaction, liaison, dialogue, contact, etc. and their related verbs.
