Telegram Adds Passkey Support, Still Requires Phone Number

What doe is this mean exactly for people who are changing phones or want to use a Telegram on a second phone?

If they are logged in on one phone, will they still require SMS verification to log in on the second?

I have raised this issue before.

It doesn’t make sense that you still need SMS verification to log in your Telegram account on a second phone, when that account is protected by password and an email address to verify your account.

I personally have never used a passkey. My computer is not compatible. I recently got a new phone which is compatible with passkeys, but admittedly, I am not comfortable having a single verification device. If I lose my phone, I’m screwed. :frowning:
