A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is associated with an Internet domain as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most common use of a TXT record is to add your website to a search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides info about the traffic to your site. Setting up such a record serves as verification that you're the Internet domain owner and they'll provide the content that you should include as the value when you create the record. Another application of a TXT record is to confirm that an e-mail message is sent by the domain name owner and from a trusted hosting server - this is the so-called SPF security, which prevents any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send junk e-mail making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You may include any other info that you would like to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.
