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