That’s the trade off being made for convenience. It’s still somewhat multifactor though (I’ve seen people call it 1.5FA); authentication codes have the benefit of being resilient to replay. So, you’re not pwned even if someone steals your password somehow. Even if someone steals your phone, you should have a passcode. If they know or guess your passcode, well… someone could steal your house/car keys too, and we still carry them around anyway :) |

In this scenario, you are assuming that the client is not compromised (since otherwise they would just steal it before you use it) the server is not compromised (otherwise what is the point), you do not have an active mitm (otherwise they could use the token directly instead of replaying).
All that really leaves is you have someone capable of passively eavesdropping a TLS connection (usually much harder to do than active mitm). I suppose someone literally looking over your shoulder or recording you with a hidden camera - but even then they just have to out-race you hitting submit.
Anyways. Not a realistic threat in my mind.
