Two-step verification is the highest level of security in Telegram that provides an additional layer of protection to keep your account safe from hackers. This guide will walk you through the process of enabling two-step verification on Telegram and what you can expect from this process.
To enable two-step verification on Telegram, follow these steps:
- Open Telegram on your device and navigate to the settings menu. You can do this by accessing the settings menu from the main menu.
Scroll down to the 'Privacy and Security' section and select the 'Two-Step Verification' feature.
Tap on the 'Turn On' button to start the process.
Telegram will ask you to create a password of at least 10 characters. This password will serve as the first step in the two-step verification process. Select a password that is easy to remember.
After creating your password, Telegram will ask you to provide a recovery email address. This email address will be used to send a code in case you forget your password. You can use Telegram's built-in email service.
Tap on the 'Save' button to save your password and recovery email address.
Once you have enabled two-step verification on
Telegram, you will need to enter the password you created, along with a 6-digit code that is sent to your registered phone number, every time you log in to your account from a new device. This process is the second step in the verification process, and it ensures that you are logged in from the correct location.
To disable two-step verification, follow these steps:
- Go to the settings menu and select the 'Privacy and Security' section.
Select the 'Two-Step Verification' feature.
Tap on the 'Turn Off' button.
Confirm that you want to turn off two-step verification by tapping on the 'Turn Off' button.
It's worth noting that if you forget your password and have not stored your password securely, you may not be able to regain access to your account. This is why it's essential to set up a recovery email address and store your password in a secure location.
Two-step verification on Telegram provides a good degree of security for your account, but it is still possible for hackers to gain access to your account through other means, such as by exploiting a weakness in the app to trick you into revealing your login credentials. To stay safe, it's essential to use a strong password and be cautious when accessing your account.
By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can enable two-step verification on Telegram and keep your account safe.
