Your Hany account is the control centre for everything — your credits, your API keys, your sender IDs, and your notification preferences. This page walks you through all the settings available to you and how to keep your account secure and up to date.

​
Profile Settings

Keep your business details accurate so invoices, notifications, and account communications go to the right place. To update your profile:
1

Log in to your Hany dashboard

Visit hany.tools and sign in with your credentials.
2

Navigate to Account Settings

Click your profile avatar or business name in the top-right corner, then select Settings.
3

Update your details

Edit any of the following fields and click Save Changes:
  • Full name — your personal name as account owner
  • Email address — used for login, notifications, and receipts
  • Business name — displayed on invoices and sender ID applications
  • Phone number — used for account verification and support contact
Keep your account email address up to date. Hany uses it to send important service notifications, low-credit alerts, and announcements about new features.

​
API Keys

Your API key authenticates all requests you make to the Hany API. Treat it like a password — guard it carefully.

​
Generate a New API Key

1

Go to Settings → API Keys

From your dashboard, navigate to Settings, then select the API Keys tab.
2

Click 'Generate New Key'

Give your key a descriptive label (for example, production-app or crm-integration) so you can identify it later.
3

Copy and store the key immediately

Your full API key is only shown once at the time of generation. Copy it and store it securely in your environment variables or secrets manager before closing the dialog.

​
Revoke an API Key

If a key is compromised or no longer needed, revoke it immediately:
1

Go to Settings → API Keys

Find the key you want to remove in the list.
2

Click 'Revoke'

Confirm the action. The key is invalidated instantly — any requests using it will receive a 401 Unauthorized error.
3

Issue a replacement key if needed

Generate a new key and update your integration with the new value.

​
Best Practices

  • One key per integration — use a separate API key for each application or service that connects to Hany. This way, if one key is compromised, you can revoke only that key without disrupting other integrations.
  • Rotate keys regularly — generate a new key and retire the old one every few months as part of your security hygiene.
  • Use environment variables — never hardcode your API key in source code. Store it as an environment variable or in a secrets manager like AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, or your CI/CD platform’s secret store.
Never share your API key publicly. Do not commit it to version control, paste it in a support chat, or expose it in client-side JavaScript. Anyone with your key can send messages and consume your credits.

​
Notification Preferences

Stay informed about the events that matter to your business. You can configure which notifications Hany sends you under Settings → Notifications. Available notification types:
NotificationDescription
Low credit balanceGet an alert when your SMS credits drop below a threshold you set
Delivery failuresBe notified when a message fails to deliver so you can investigate or retry
New services launchingReceive announcements when IVR, USSD, Email Marketing, and Payments become available

​
Security

​
Change Your Password

1

Go to Settings → Security

Select the Security tab within your account settings.
2

Enter your current password

Confirm your identity before making changes.
3

Set and confirm your new password

Choose a strong password of at least 12 characters, mixing letters, numbers, and symbols. Click Update Password.

​
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Where available, enable two-factor authentication to add a second layer of protection to your account. With 2FA enabled, logging in requires both your password and a one-time code from your authenticator app. Check Settings → Security to see if 2FA is enabled for your account tier.

​
Deleting Your Account

If you need to permanently close your Hany account, contact our support team directly: support@hany.tools Include your registered email address and the reason for deletion. Our team will confirm your identity, process the request, and send you a confirmation. Note that account deletion is irreversible — any remaining credit balance will be forfeited.
