They offer 2 factor authentification using Google Authenticator and that requires you to enter a PIN generated on YOUR cell phone and that's really secure (compared to NameCheap or GoDaddy where user/pass is enough).
What part of "proper" you didn't understood
First,to use that authenticator thingy,you need to have smartphone.
Second,google stinks.
Third,it's a third party solution,so if it goes down for some reason,you wont be able to login to your account.
Fourth,third party security tools are far easier to hack then when it is hosted on server.
I think every service,no matter is it important or not,should have atleast security based on ip(where except username and password ip must match)
And second thing,it should be a SMS send to cellphone when you log in,like namecheap currently it have(tho this might not be option for every as sending SMS messages cost).
Beside that,there are plenty of other ways for security,for example paxum send a code to mail,and name.com have offline token and facial recognition.
