Facebook Asking for Some New Users' Email Password...
This is security by "no one should be asking for your password". The responsibility is with the user and they need to be taught "you must not disclose your password to just anyone who asks for it".

And having well-known entities ask for people's passwords normalizes such behavior and teaches users that this is normal and OK to do.

Does it really? It is wrong and the users need to know it.

Yeah, thanks facebook for doing all the wrong things so that users can have a clear example of what is wrong! (only half joking)
