Telethon Cannot sign into accounts with two step verfication

Question

I'm trying to log into telegram using telethon with a number with two-step verification. I use this code,

client = TelegramClient(f'sessions/1', API_ID, API_HASH)
client.connect()
phone = input('phone ; ')
y = client.send_code_request(phone)
x = client.sign_in(phone=phone, password=input('password : '), code=input('code :'))

But It still says that the account is two-step protected. Is there any easier way to do this without this method or... how can I properly use this method?

I want to log into the account fully from the code without typing anything in the terminal (Here I used inputs just for testing. I will connect a GUI later where users can enter the details) so I don't think client.start() will work. and I'm a little confused when it comes to passing the parameters to client.start() method.

Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

This is how I implemented it in my code, using bits from the implementation of client.start().

phone = input("Enter phone: ")
await client.send_code_request(phone, force_sms=False)
value = input("Enter login code: ")
try:
    me = await client.sign_in(phone, code=value)
except telethon.errors.SessionPasswordNeededError:
    password = input("Enter password: ")
    me = await client.sign_in(password=password)
