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 popular use of a TXT record is to add your website to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, that offers information about the targeted traffic to your web site. Creating this kind of a record may serve as proof that you are the Internet domain owner and they will supply the content that you should include as the value when you create the record. Another use of a TXT record is to validate that an email message is sent by the domain address owner and from a reliable server - this is the so-called SPF security, that 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 could add any other information which you want to be associated with your domain address in a TXT record as well.
