    Well, Facebook did have an auth method that involved promoting you for your password so that they could log into your email and get an OTP iirc

    It wasn’t zuckerberg doing something in secret. It was an explicit protocol that was terrible. They got called out and stopped it. Kinda like early days of open graph.
