We did this for Mozilla Hubs (hubs.mozilla.com) specifically so people can easily sign in from within a VR headset which doesn't have a password manager and which is hard to type in.

However, the problem is that this goes so much against user expectations it just confuses people and they end up going through the grueling version of typing the long link in by hand in VR since they can't imagine it could be as easy as opening it on their phone. (We of course, call this out in the prompt, but nobody reads that.)
