A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is 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, that offers info about the web traffic to your Internet site. Creating this sort of a record functions as proof that you are the domain owner and they'll supply the content you should 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 web server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which prevents any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send out spam making it appear like it was sent from your own mailbox. You could add any other info which you want to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.
