Two-factor authentication is a good way to improve the security of an account, to make it less likely that another person will manage to log in instead of you.
Practically, it means storing a secret inside an authenticator and exchanging a code from the authenticator when you try to log in.
This means an attacker needs both to have guessed your password and to access your authenticator, a more difficult proposition than either one or the other.
