If you have Two Factor Authorization (from now on, 2FA) enabled on your account, calling `.sign_in` will raise a `SessionPasswordNeededError`. When this happens, just `.sign_in()` again with a `password=`:
```python
from telethon.errors import SessionPasswordNeededError
client.sign_in(phone)
try:
client.sign_in(code=input('Enter code: '))
except SessionPasswordNeededError:
client.sign_in(password=input('Enter password: '))
```
## Enabling 2FA
If you don't have 2FA enabled, but you would like to do so through Telethon, take as example the following code snippet:
```python
import os
from hashlib import sha256
from telethon.tl.functions import account
from telethon.tl.types.account import PasswordInputSettings
new_salt = client(account.GetPasswordRequest()).new_salt
salt = new_salt + os.urandom(8) # new random salt
pw = 'secret'.encode('utf-8') # type your new password here
hint = 'hint'
pw_salted = salt + pw + salt
pw_hash = sha256(pw_salted).digest()
password_new = PasswordInputSettings(new_salt=salt, new_password_hash=pw_hash, hint='hint')
result = client(account.UpdatePasswordSettingsRequest(
current_password_hash=salt,
new_settings=PasswordInputSettings(
new_salt=salt,
new_password_hash=pw_hash,
hint=hint
)
)
```
Thanks to [issue 259](https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon/issues/259) for the tip!
