So now your Facebook account is only as secure as your phone; after all, a chain is only as a strong as the weakest link.

If someone stole my phone, the last thing I'd give a crap about is my Facebook account.

When someone steals your phone, you can suspend your mobile service. You can also disassociate the number from Facebook.

Chances are you wouldn't even know your phone has gone missing.

The perpetrator 'borrows' your phone .. sends a one shot password request .. logs in to your account and deletes the message. You find your phone where you left it and are non-the-wiser.

I don't know the full details of this, but I'm not too worried. I doubt they will let you change your email/main password using the one time password.
