Authorization

[TopNowchik]

Good day!
I want to thank you for a very useful library.
I have the following question. Why is it possible to log in to the telegram desktop without a cloud password, but when authorizing using your library, it asks for a password? I would be very grateful if you could clarify this for me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for using the library, it means a lot to me.

Do you mean it throws an exception and asks for a 2FA password when loading TelegramClient from the tdata folder?
That's because when you convert TDesktop to TelegramClient, it'll re-login by default (flag=CreateNewSession) hence needing the password.

To actually re-use the session of that tdata, which won't ask for a 2FA password, you must use flag=UseCurrentSession.

# flag=UseCurrentSession
# Convert TDesktop to Telethon using the current session.
client = await tdesk.ToTelethon(session="telethon.session", flag=UseCurrentSession)
