At the very top in the API Key Description field, enter the name you want to give to this API key (e.g. "HAL") and configure the parameters of your API key as below:
Click on Generate Key.

On your Dashboard, click on Connect exchange:
You can then copy and paste your two keys:
If everything is perfectly set up, then your Dashboard should look like this:
Congratulations! Your Kraken and HAL accounts are now synchronized.
