A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain address as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your site to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides info about the web traffic to your Internet site. Creating such a record serves as verification that you are the domain owner and they'll provide 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 web server - this is the so-called SPF security, that prevents any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send junk e-mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could include any other info that you'd like to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.
