Two handed is just that, the use of two hands.  Players using two hands are always better than one handed players because their speed is significantly increased with the ability to coordinate button presses.

Additionally, two handed players get the "piano experience" and can take advantage of improvisation playing where one hand can take the place of the other. However, some players do this because one hand is slower than the other.  As a result it can become a dependancy and a weakness of the player.  If you're someone like this, keep an eye out for those times when you play three keys with one hand; if you're unable to change, you won't be able to get better or faster or able to take on the most difficult of songs.

A fairly common two-handed style, the index style involves using the index fingers on both hands to hit all of the arrows. The two index fingers are chosen for their dexterity and strength.

There are a few ways to play this way on the arrow keys, depending on your set up and how it feels for you (finger length can be a factor).  The first way, most common is to have each hand have two keys on each side, so left and up for the left hand and right and down for the right (up and down can be exchanged for each hand). The other way is to place the first hand on two keys, so for example the left hand on left and down keys, and then place the right hand above the last, on the right and up keys.

Much of the time the keyboard must be tilted slightly to become ergonomic (naturally curve with your wrists and other joints so they don't experience stress or pain).
