An authenticator is a person who authenticates something - who proves something to be authentic - or a condition or feature of a thing which makes it authentic.

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.
