Even if you don't have a smart phone you can use the authenticator with your PC by following the steps below. However, it will make render the two step process less secure as an attacker would just need access to your computer rather than your computer and your phone.
Step 1) Download WinAuth you can get this Googling 'WinAuth' under the Download section scroll down to where it says WinAuth 3.0 and click where it says WinAuth 3.0.21 to start downloading it.
https://winauth.com/
Step 2) Locate the WinAuth file you downloaded, open up it's folder and drag the program out to your desktop. You should see a blue icon.

Step 3) Go to the RuneScape Home Page mouse over where it says 'Account' at the top right corner of the page and click on Authenticator. Once you are on the RuneScape Authenticator page, click the 'Set Up Now' button and Log In.

Step 4) You should now see 'Step 1: Get The App' pay that no attention. Under Step 2 it should say 'Code Won't Scan?>' click on that and it will say Enter 'Random 16 Digit Code' and choose Time Based.

Step 5) Copy the 16 Digit Code you got from the 'Code Won't Scan?>' section. Now open up WinAuth on your PC and click on 'Add' and choose Google. Under Name enter the RuneScape Account Name you will be setting up this Authenticator for. Underneath Number 1 paste in the 16 Digit Code and click Verify Authenticator, you should then see a 6 Digit Code under 3 with a Green Loading Bar, click 'OK'. You will then be prompted to enter a P-Word to protect your authenticator in case your computer is compromised, this is optional I clicked cancel personally myself.

Step 6) On the WinAuth screen you will see 'RuneScape Account Name' and 6 Digit Numbers. After about 30 seconds or so the code will expire and become invalid. So what you do when it runs out and becomes nothing but dash symbols ----- right click the Loading Arrow and enable Auto Refresh, this will give you a new 6 Digit Code that will last 30 or so seconds before it will expire and give you a new one. Before and After Picture of an expired code showing up as dashes '-----' and after you enable Auto Refresh showing a new code to be entered.

Step 7) What you might want to do next to make it easier if you cannot quickly remember things is to split your Web Browser Window on one side of your monitor and your WinAuth Program on the other side so you can see them both. Then go back to the RuneScape Authenticator Page you opened up and under Step 3 type in the 6 Digit Code before it expires and click Finish.
In this picture is my screen split with RuneScape on one side, WinAuth on the other so you can quickly enter the code before the timer runs out.

Please Note: The next time you log in to RuneScape you will log in as normal and it will prompt you for a 6 Digit Code. This is where you open up WinAuth to get your code each time upon log in and enter it. Or you can choose to Trust Your Computer for 30 days and you will not be prompted for another code within those 30 days.
Pictured here is the screen that asks for yoru 6 Digit Pin after logging into the game. Also shows the option to Trust your computer for 30 days.

If you have more than one account then you will want to repeat the same steps, just rename the other accounts accordingly how you like. This is so when you log in you will know which Toon you are getting the log in code for.
