Just are a cryptographically secure way of making authentication more secure.. so instead of just logging in with something you know (your password), you have to have something you have, and something you know (the authenticator, and your password), just one by itself isn't enough.

So unless you lose the authenticator to the same person who cracked your password, your account is very secure.
