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 another. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your website to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides information about the traffic to your website. Setting up such a record functions as confirmation that you are the domain name owner and they'll supply the content that you should include as the value when you create the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to confirm that an e-mail message is sent by the domain address owner and from a reliable hosting server - this is the so-called SPF security, which helps prevent any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send unsolicited mail making it look like it was sent from your own mailbox. You could include any other info which you want to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.
