By clicking on a chat link inside Telegram app it redirects me to my default browser (everything fine here). The thing is when the browser opens it logins to my telegram account automatically, why is this happening?

I have TFA and it doesn't ask me for that, there are no devices connected but when opening the browser it logins automatically, even in incognito with no cookies. Does someone know what is happening?

The chat link is for telegram? It probably embeds a token in the link, either on creation or on click.

You are right, It creates a token, I didn't notice because it deletes it from the URL so fast Thanks!
