Signing in with Telegram
How the Telegram OAuth sign-in works for your creator account, and why it's always available alongside your password.
Every MemberPass creator account is created through Telegram. That means your Telegram identity is permanently linked to your account from day one, and you can always sign in with Continue with Telegram as an alternative to your password or passkey.
This page covers how that Telegram sign-in path behaves, what data is shared, and what to do if something goes wrong.
Creator accounts only have Telegram as a social sign-in option. Google sign-in, magic-link sign-in, and similar paths are used on the subscriber portal (your members' login page), not on the creator dashboard. See For Subscribers → Portal if you're reading this as an end subscriber.
What Telegram sign-in does
When you click Continue with Telegram at /login:
- You authenticate with Telegram, not with MemberPass.
- Telegram sends us your public profile — first name, last name, username (if any), profile photo, and your unique Telegram user ID.
- We match that user ID to your existing creator account and sign you in.
- You stay signed in to MemberPass even if you later sign out of Telegram — the connection is only used at the moment of sign-in.
How to sign in with Telegram
At /login, click Continue with Telegram — the blue button above the email/password form.
The Telegram login widget appears. On mobile, you'll be asked to open the Telegram app and tap Confirm. On desktop, you can scan a QR code or confirm directly from your phone.
Telegram redirects you back to MemberPass. Because your Telegram user ID is already linked to your account, you're signed in immediately — no extra steps.
If 2FA is enabled on your account, you'll still be prompted for your authenticator code at /two-factor.
Why this is useful
No password to remember
If you forget your password or don't want to enter one on a shared device, Continue with Telegram is an instant alternative — no typing required.
Tied to Telegram user ID, not @username
If you change or remove your Telegram username later, your MemberPass link is unaffected. We match on the underlying numeric user ID, which Telegram never changes.
One account, three paths
Signing in with Telegram, email/password, or a passkey all land you on the same dashboard with the same data. Mix and match as convenient.
What data Telegram shares
Only the basics: first name, last name, username (if any), profile photo, and a unique Telegram user ID. MemberPass doesn't see messages, contacts, or anything else in your Telegram account.
Can I disconnect Telegram?
No — and you shouldn't want to. Your Telegram identity is the basis of how you registered, and it's required for using the MemberPass bot (@MemberPassAppBot) that lets you manage your projects straight from Telegram. Disconnecting would break the link to that bot and your own workflow.
If you've changed Telegram accounts entirely and want to update the one linked to MemberPass, contact support — this is a manual, identity-verified change.
