TXT is a DNS record, which contains data in human-readable form for external sources to gain information regarding a specific domain or subdomain. In the most common case, such a record is used to prove that you own a domain name if you're trying to add it to an online search engine or to some traffic analytics platform. Since only the domain owner/administrator may add custom DNS records, the TXT record serves as a proof of ownership for the business offering the service. Another popular use for this kind of records is the e-mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection, which helps to ensure that a particular email address shall not be spoofed and that individuals will not receive junk mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record features info about the mail server where your digital messages come from and functions as confirmation that it is a reliable one. Because there are no standards about the content of this sort of a record, you could add any other info also.
