This is not two-factor authentication. It is important to know what it means. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-factor_authentication factors are:

* Something only the user knows (e.g., password, PIN, pattern);

* Something only the user has (e.g., ATM card, smart card, mobile phone); and

* Something only the user is (e.g., biometric characteristic, such as a fingerprint).

Your example was two things that someone knows -- one factor.
