A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most frequent use of a TXT record is to add your web site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, that offers details about the traffic to your Internet site. Creating this sort of a record functions as proof that you're the domain name owner and they'll provide the content that you need to include as the value when you set up the record. Another application of a TXT record is to validate that an email message is sent by the Internet domain owner and from a trusted server - this is the so-called SPF security, which helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send junk mail making it look like it was sent from your own mailbox. You could include any other info which you want to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.
