I don't understand how having a read only access would prevent a webpage
from reading a 2-factor auth SMS.

I wonder if we could have a permission as fine as giving access to a
specific thread ?
Or access to some properties (the phone numbers) but not others (the SMS
content) ?

I'm also not sure how a user can choose knowingly whether he should give
access to such things from this webpage :/
