A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your web site to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers information about the web traffic to your website. Creating this kind of a record works as verification that you are the domain owner and they will provide the content you need to include as the value when you create 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 reliable server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send out junk mail making it appear like it was sent from your own mailbox. You could include any other info that you'd like to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.
