How to find the Telegram password? I try to find the login password

I can certainly help you clear up how Telegram handles passwords, but first, I want to make sure I give you the most relevant advice for your situation.

To help you best, are you currently locked out of your account, or are you just trying to understand how your password settings work?

I'm locked out and need to get back in

I'm so sorry to hear you're locked out—that can be incredibly stressful, but let's work on getting you back in.

To start, it helps to understand how Telegram's login process works, as it's different from most other apps.

The Dual-Lock System

Unlike other services, Telegram doesn't actually have a traditional "login password" that you use every time. Instead, it relies on a two-step system to keep your chats secure:

The Primary Code (The Key): This is a one-time sent via SMS or to another device where you're already logged in. You always need this code first to access your account.
The Two-Step Verification Password (The Deadbolt): This is an optional secondary password you can set up. If enabled, Telegram will ask for this password after you enter the SMS code.

Let's figure out where you are stuck in this process. Are you able to receive the initial SMS login code, or is the app prompting you for that secondary 2-Step Verification password which you don't remember?
