It's less secure, but the single factor is a stronger single factor than a password because it can't be reused. If someone mitms my login they get my password and otp code, which they ideally can't turn into something reusable (if the website requires 2FA to change security settings) and definitely can't use if they have a lag between collection and exploitation (like a keylogger that phones home every so often). This is acceptable to me, but I would prefer websites let me use a one time code as a single factor of authentication.
