Svmuu News SlowMist Yu Xian, founder of Tech, posted on X, recommending that users of the desktop version of Telegram enable Passcode Lock and make sure to remember the passcode they set (if forgotten, they will need to log back into Telegram).
It is understood that this passcode is primarily used to unlock the user’s local Telegram installation and to access highly sensitive local data (such as identity-related information). Setting up this app lock helps protect local data and prevent information theft or account takeover in the event of physical access to the device or a Trojan infection.
