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 other. The most frequent use of a TXT record is to add your web site to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides information about the web traffic to your Internet site. Setting up this type of a record serves as proof that you're the domain address owner and they will supply the content you need to include as the value when you set up the record. Another use of a TXT record is to verify that an e-mail message is sent by the domain address owner and from a reliable web server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send junk mail making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could add any other info you want to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.
