Cannot login properly to the Telegram account #424

Open mcepl opened 7 years ago

mcepl commented 7 years ago

When trying to connect to my account, I get a dialogue in pidgin saying “Telegram: Telegram wants to verify your identity. Please enter the login code that you have received via SMS.” I enter the code I get via SMS, but then I get the question just again. And again. And again. It doesn't seem to ever properly log in.

Particular part of purple-debug-log.txt is here.

I take that this is a new issue, since you have been using the plugin in the past?

Do you try to register a new phone number, that was previously unknown to Telegram?

mcepl commented 7 years ago

I have tried to use it, but in the end it broke on RHEL-7 not having compatible libgcrypt. Trying now with --disable-gcrypt and my private build.

This is already existing account on Telegram, and I am currently connect to it on https://web.telegram.org/ (phone no.: +420 604 893 825, if you care to connect).

Maybe there is actually some issue with the used crypto library then. Could you try it in a VM on a different distribution with your phone number?

mcepl commented 7 years ago

Sorry, I don't understand … what would testing on (let's say) Debian say about my situation on RHEL? That on some other distro it works? I guess so, I would believe you use the software yourself so you would find out if it didn't work anywhere? That my phone number is not magically causing the problem?

Well, your phone number decides the DC you connect to for first authentication, so there could be a geographical issue that is somehow tied to your phone number.

If the authentication was broken in general we would have noticed it, so its likely an issue that is specific to you.

Same thing happening here: Pidgin keeps asking for Telegram codes, and I keep getting the SMS messages with those codes. Installed Telegram today on Pidgin, already had to enter 6 codes.

Still not fixed in July 2022. My phone number starts with +48.
