Telethon Cannot sign into accounts with two step verfication

I'm trying to log into telegram using telethon with a number with two-step verification. I use this code,

client = TelegramClient(f'sessions/1', API_ID, API_HASH)
client.connect()
phone = input('phone ; ')
y = client.send_code_request(phone)
x = client.sign_in(phone=phone, password=input('password : '), code=input('code :'))

But It still says that the account is two-step protected. Is there any easier way to do this without this method or... how can I properly use this method?

I want to log into the account fully from the code without typing anything in the terminal (Here I used inputs just for testing. I will connect a GUI later where users can enter the details) so I don't think client.start() will work. and I'm a little confused when it comes to passing the parameters to client.start() method.

Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Solution

  • You also need to pass the phone_code_hash returned from client.send_code_request(phone).

    You could try (see the function call of sign_in with phone_code_hash and send_code_request):

    y = client.send_code_request(phone)
client.sign_in(phone=phone, password=input('password : '), code=input('code :'), phone_code_hash=y.phone_code_hash)
