Having a TOTP secret would protect against theft of credentials in transit. The TOTP is only valid once, so that credential exchange is only valid once. They wouldn't be able to create any additional login sessions with the information they've attacked. However, there's a good chance if they could see that they might also be able to see a lot of other information you're exchanging with that service.
