Yes but if for example, If I login to Namecheap and provide my 2FA - that password is valid only the moment I use it because 2FA is in effect an OTP (one time password).

Since I am using it as soon as I am receiving it, the 2FA is of no use to the phisher who has no way to obtain a new one because he doesn't own my phone. I think technically its possible but difficult for a phish site to use a 2FA.
