Telegram Sign-Up and Login Guide

Summary

To successfully sign up for and log in to Telegram, it is essential to use the official client, and it is recommended to enable Two-Step Verification to enhance account security.

Telegram Sign-Up Process

  1. Initial Sign-Up: You must use the official mobile client to sign up in order to receive the verification code via SMS.
  2. Desktop Client: If you attempt to sign up on the desktop client, you will be prompted to use the mobile client for registration.
  3. Third-Party Clients: When using third-party clients, although they may prompt you to send a verification code, the SMS will not be received because Telegram has officially disabled registration and verification code functionality for such clients.

Telegram Login Process

  1. Existing Account: When logging in again, the verification code will be sent directly to a device where you are already logged in.
  2. Two-Step Verification Not Enabled: Log in using the 'phone number + verification code' combination.
  3. Two-Step Verification Enabled: You need to enter 'phone number + verification code + Two-Step Verification password' to log in.

Security Recommendations

  • It is strongly recommended to enable Telegram's Two-Step Verification to protect your account security and privacy.
  • Regularly check and adjust your privacy settings to prevent information leakage and avoid being unnecessarily added to groups.
