How to get telegram authentification to work with KDE telepathy?

Hello!

After I worked through the passage from the Arch wiki, KDE online accounts shows me telegram accounts as option, I do not get any error message when creating the account, still there is no way to enter the passcode that I get on my phone...

The same is true for empathy...

I installed "telepathy-haze", "telepathy-purple"  and the "telegram-morse-git" like mentioned here... 

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE#KDE_Telepathy

the "accounts.cfg" file shows:

 
[morse/telegram/_2b4915{somenumbershere}60]
manager=morse
protocol=telegram
DisplayName=+4915{somenumbershere}6
AutomaticPresence=0;;;
param-account=+4915{somenumbershere}6
Icon=im-telegram
Enabled=true
AvatarMime='

I have not got any messgae about authentification failure but also no question about entering a password.
The same holds true for empathy. Empathy offers to enter a passcode but then also just doesn't connect - busy trying though.

With pidgin and telegram-cli everything works just fine.
Just no real desktop integration at all....

How can I fix this?

thx for helping, p.

Where it says to type in your phone number, try it with your country code (1 for US). No spaces, hyphens, parentheses, etc.
As soon as I put a 1 in front of my number, I got a message.
