How to Enable Email Login for Telegram

Telegram Email Login Feature: A Convenient Way to Receive Verification Codes

Telegram recently rolled out an email login feature, allowing users to receive login verification codes via email, which can potentially reduce SMS costs. This feature is currently in a limited beta phase, available only to a subset of users.

Conclusion

To enable Telegram email login, users need to link an email address to receive verification codes. Please note that Telegram accounts remain exclusively linked to a phone number; email login does not mean you can remove your phone number.

Email Login Feature Description

Verification Code Reception Method: This feature allows users to receive login verification codes via email, rather than SMS.
Linking Relationship: Unlike the recovery email for two-step verification, a single email address can be linked to multiple Telegram accounts.
Phone Number Linking: Even with email login enabled, the Telegram account remains exclusively linked to a phone number.

How to Enable Email Login

New User Registration: Newly registered users are usually prompted to link an email address.
Existing Accounts: Try logging out and logging back in; this might trigger a prompt to link an email.
Verification Code Reception: When linking an email, you must receive the verification code via SMS. If your phone number is unable to receive SMS verification codes, please do not proceed.

Official Statement

Telegram states: "If a user logs in frequently, the system will ask the user to verify their email to send login verification codes." This suggests that frequently relying on SMS for verification might lead Telegram to prompt you to link an email address.

Important Notes

If you encounter the message "Too many attempts, please try again later.", it indicates that there have been too many login attempts. Please try again later.
Currently, there are no other more effective methods to enable this email login feature.

By following the steps above, users can successfully enable Telegram email login and enjoy a more convenient login experience.
