A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with a domain address as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your web site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides info about the traffic to your website. Creating such a record works as confirmation that you are the domain name owner and they'll provide 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 Internet domain owner and from a reliable web server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that prevents any electronic address created under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send junk e-mail making it look like it was sent from your own mailbox. You can include any other info which you want to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.
