Wouldn’t being forced to give up the password and logging in be a violation of the 5th amendment, at least in the US? I think it’s a mixed bag of rulings right now, but it seems like it would make sense for it to fall that way at the end of the day.

even if you have a password in Telegram as a second factor, Telegram can bypass it anyways; and the user isn't even asked
