In today’s tech-driven hospitality world, keeping your HMS account secure is like ensuring guests’ comfort—it is non-negotiable. HMS holds crucial guest data, and you do not want it to fall into the wrong hands. Here are three savvy tips to fortify your HMS account: 


1. Exclusive Access for Enhanced Security

The golden rule: keep your login credentials exclusive. Sharing login credentials, whether intentionally or unintentionally, poses a significant threat to the security of your HMS account. Avoid this practice among colleagues and staff. Everyone who needs access to HMS should have their own unique log-in and password. This not only fosters accountability but also minimises the risk of unauthorised breaches.


2. Regular password updates and Stronger Credentials

Reinforce your HMS account by regularly updating passwords. Set a schedule for password updates and steer clear of predictable combinations. Opt for a unique and strong password that combines uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Additionally, avoid using the same password across various platforms to prevent a security compromise on one system from affecting others. For added user support, HMS proactively triggers password updates every 90 days.  


3. Beware of phishing emails

In the sea of digital communications, phishing emails remain a persistent threat. Vigilance is key. Be wary of unsolicited emails that request sensitive information or contain suspicious links. Cybercriminals often use phishing tactics to trick individuals into revealing their login credentials. Verify the legitimacy of suspicious emails directly through the ZUZU Helpline.
