How to Set Up a Telegram Passkey

A Passkey is a more secure and convenient login method than passwords. Once set, you can log in passwordlessly using device biometrics or system keys.

Benefits of a Passkey

• No password to remember; faster login.
• More phishing-resistant and safer than SMS codes.
• Works with two-step verification for stronger protection.

How to set up a Passkey

1. Open Telegram and go to Settings → Privacy and Security.
2. Find and tap Passkey.
3. Follow the prompts to create one using Face ID / fingerprint or a system key.
4. After creation, you can choose Passkey when logging in.

Notes

• Passkeys are device-bound; set them up again on new devices or log in with a password.
• Keep the two-step verification password as a backup login method.

Summary

Enable Passkey on supported devices for a safer, faster login. Use it together with two-step verification for double protection.
