Although Telegram has decided not to share any details officially, we have the tip coming from the app developer and reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi who has managed to grab a couple of screenshots that show the in-development feature.
Telegram Wants to Secure User Accounts Even Further By Letting Them Login Using Emails
You can see in the attached tweets the new feature will give users the option to add an email ID to “protect your account.” The feature will also include a Sign in with Google option for those who use a Gmail account.

— Alessandro Paluzzi (@alex193a) September 2, 2022 Currently, Telegram does offer a two-step verification feature that lets users protect their accounts. It lets you secure your account with an additional password, and you have to use that password to access the app on a new device. However, since this feature uses a pre-defined static password, it is not as secure as the feature in which you have to verify the login through email.
