A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your web site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides info about the targeted traffic to your Internet site. Creating such a record functions as confirmation that you're the domain address owner and they will supply the content you should include as the value when you create the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to verify that an e-mail message is sent by the domain name owner and from a reliable web server - this is the so-called SPF security, which prevents any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send junk e-mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could include any other information which you want to be associated with your domain address in a TXT record as well.
