How to Enable Telegram Email Login

Telegram Email Login: A Handy Way to Get Verification Codes

Telegram has recently rolled out an email login feature, allowing users to receive login verification codes via email and potentially cut down on SMS costs. This feature is currently in a limited rollout phase and is only available to a select group of users.

Conclusion

To enable Telegram email login, users need to link an email address to their account to receive verification codes. Please note, your Telegram account remains tied to your mobile number; email login doesn't mean you can remove or unlink your phone number.

Email Login Feature Explained

  • Verification Code Delivery: This feature lets users receive login verification codes via email, rather than SMS.
  • Linking Options: An email address can be linked to multiple Telegram accounts, unlike the recovery email for two-step verification.
  • Mobile Number Still Required: Even with email login enabled, your Telegram account remains linked directly to a mobile number.

How to Enable Email Login

  1. New User Sign-Ups: Newly registered users are usually prompted to link an email address.
  2. Existing Accounts: Try logging out and then logging back in; this might trigger a prompt to link your email.
  3. Verification Code Reception: When linking your email, you must receive the verification code via SMS. If your mobile number can't receive SMS codes, do not attempt this.

Official Statement

Telegram states: "If users log in frequently, the system will ask them to verify an email address to send login verification codes." This suggests that frequently relying on SMS for verification codes might prompt Telegram to request an email address be linked.

Important Notes

  • If you see a "Too many attempts, please try again later." message, it means you've made too many login attempts. Please wait a while and try again later.
  • Currently, there aren't any other more effective ways to enable this email login feature.

By following the steps above, users should be able to successfully enable Telegram email login and enjoy a more convenient login experience.
