Not sure about them previously asking for email passwords, but there are many email APIs that can give permissions access to your contacts [0]. I don't doubt that in the older days of Facebook they were probably achieving this using some shadier methods. But worse than this, just by installing the Facebook App it liberally takes contact details from your device [1]. I personally use mbasic.facebook.com as it can run without JS and only updates when you refresh the browser. facebook.com refuses to run without JS and causes my browser to use tonnes of resources when JS is enabled. (P.S. Like many, I can't completely abandon Facebook just yet as lots of older friends and family are "unable" to migrate to other platforms.)
