The Blizzard authenticator is a device (key-chain) or app (for some mobile phones) that you can have attached to your BattleNet account. It adds an additional layer of security to your account.
With it attached to your account, when ever you log into BattleNet or one of its games, you must put in the six digit code that appears on the device or app. This code is cycled every thirty (30) seconds and is never the same code twice.
Basically it makes it very hard for hackers/key-loggers to get your account information and take your account from you.
A Blizzard Authenticator is a physical or mobile device used to provide an additional layer of security for accessing Blizzard Entertainment services like World of Warcraft or Overwatch. It requires a generated code to be entered along with your password to log in, helping prevent unauthorized access to your account.

What do i do if i didn't download a battlenet authenticator and i have to put in an authentication code?
This depends whether someone with a WoW account that does have an authenticator attached has logged into your game. If so, simply log in normally but leave the authenticator field empty. It will then log in normally. If not, or the above does not help, contact Blizzard customer support. There is a chance someone got hold of your account details, added the game to their account and/or attached an authenticator. When this happens, you can no longer log in to the game or your account.
