In the present, every 2-Factor authentication system I've ever seen,
including Google, Microsoft, and every bank and credit card that I
use... You enter username & password, and then if it's wrong it says
"bad username or password," but if you got it right, it says "We have
sent you a validation link." Which once again, stupidly validates the
correct combination of username & password to a user who is not yet
fully authenticated.

The only two-factor system I have encountered that doesn't do this is a VDI setup at my work with Windows terminal servers and Symantec VIP. The username/password and VIP prompts are separate, but both are required before an indication of success or failure and the failure notice does not state which has failed.
