Agreed. Second factor where you tell the attacker they got the password right before asking for the next factor isn't really 2 factor.

Either that, or you force the user to do a password reset if ever they provide the password but cannot provide the 2nd factor in the same login attempt. I think that would upset a lot of users though.
