am I crazy or could they not just include a uri to the facebook app with the 2 factor auth token included as an argument?

Yes of course. But this allows them to automate that process.

Typical tradeoff: It's a nice feature, but adding it requires permissions that are off-putting to some users. I'm not sure there is a good solution here.

The good solution is in Android's hands and is to allow on demand permission requests after the app is installed.

I remember when Symbian did that. God it was awful!

But perhaps if it were implemented better it might make some sense.

Android does on demand permission requests for premium SMS sending. now to just scale that to anything an app developer wants to make optional.
