I need this, but, is it secure?
Mt. Gox Mobile will never ask for your username and password.  Mt. Gox Mobile utilizes the secured HTTP API built by Mt. Gox which enables applications to utilize a secure method of identification and application pairing.  All communications are encrypted over HTTPS (SSL) and are signed using a secret key which is used to create a unique SHA-512 hash which must then be verified.  Further, the secret key is saved for future sessions using AES encryption.

There's nothing plain about that text.  

To add an additional layer of security, Mt. Gox allows anyone to revoke any application's access via the user settings page at any time.  This includes on a per rights basis (support within the client coming very soon!).


Ok!  That's just what I needed.  How do I get started?
Mt. Gox Mobile is currently available for download for Android devices from the application's website, http://mtgoxlive.com/mobile, as well as the Android Market.  This application is available for iOS 4.0.1 jailbroken devices, but currently unavailable for newer versions.  We are working on this issue and will update it very soon.  If you have 4.0.1, please contact 'rasengan' on IRC for a link to the Cydia Repository and/or the .deb package.  For everyone else, this is our top priority and we will have it ready very soon!


It's downloaded, but I just see this Activation Key and no fields for my username and password?
Go to http://mtgoxlive.com/mobile and review the setup instructions found on the "Download" link.

(Setup TL;dr)
Web: Login to Mt. Gox -> Settings -> Mobile Application -> Select all -> Grant
Mobile: Scan the QR code that shows up after grant -> Choose a password
