HandyKey: Two-Factor Authentication

1. Go to the App Store, search for HandyKey.

2. After you download and install the HandyKey app, launch it.

3. Allow the app to send notifications.

4. Tap on Enable User. You will be presented with a contextual guide.

Enter your username and password.  If you already have your mobile phone number registered with us, it will be the default choice.  If it's incorrect, choose "Other" and enter .  Then you proceed with "Send Activation SMS" 

You will receive an SMS.  It may take up to 3 minutes to receive the message, depending on the carrier.

The sender will be "NXSMS" and the message text will be similar to :

Your access key app Activation Token: 123456. Please use this code to enable your user within the access key application.

After entering this code to the HandyKey, the setup will be complete.

Open TWS and enter your username and password as you would before. 

1.  Open the HandyKey app on your device.
2.  Enter the challenge code (903 490, as in the above example) into the app.
3.  Tap Generate.
4.  Depending on your security settings, your device will authenticate your identity by asking for your pin or fingerprint, or FaceID.  You will receive a Response String (05236585, as in the below example).
5.  Enter the Response String into the TWS to proceed.

Open Account Management and enter your username and password as you would before. 

1.  Open the HandyKey app on your device.
2.  Enter the challenge code (903 490, as in the above example) into the app.
3.  Tap Generate.
4.  Depending on your security settings, your device will authenticate your identity by asking for your pin or fingerprint, or FaceID.  You will receive a Response String (05236585, as in the below example).
5.  Enter the Response String into the Account Management Challenge box to proceed.

If HandyKey and the HandyTrader (or TabletTrader) reside on the same device, the challenge-generate-login process will be done automatically.  The challenge code will be sent by the HandyKey to the HandyTrader automatically and it will require phone authentication (passcode, fingerprint, FaceID).  Once authenticated, HandyKey will switch back to the HandyTrader to proceed with the login.

If the two apps are on separate devices, then the process is similar to the TWS guide above.
