A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is associated with a domain as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most widespread use of a TXT record is to add your site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides information about the web traffic to your Internet site. Creating this type of a record works as confirmation that you are the Internet domain owner and they'll supply the content that you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another use of a TXT record is to verify that an email message is sent by the domain address owner and from a trusted hosting server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that prevents any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send spam making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could include any other info that you would like to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.
