OP here - thanks for pointing that out, for some reason when I try to type TOTP my fingers keep defaulting to TOPT - some kind of muscle memory I guess. In any case, this has been corrected, although I'm unsure how a simple spelling mistake discredits the basis for the complaint.

> I have an account with MFA and... I don't think that's true

Try log in using Incognito/private browser. I am either defaulted into the one-time SMS flow, or given the option to log in with a one-time SMS code. In either case, if I enter the SMS code I am not prompted for my password nor TOTP.
