A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain name or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a given domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and that you need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your web sites as well. Needless to say, in such a case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally used if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can shield them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains info showing that a particular digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any other information also, such as your company details, for instance.
