TXT is a DNS record, that contains information in human-readable form for external sources to obtain info about a particular Internet domain or subdomain. In the most common situation, such a record is used to prove that you own a domain name if you're trying to add it to a search engine or to some traffic analytics platform. Since only the domain owner/administrator may add custom DNS records, the TXT record works as a proof of ownership for the company providing the service. Another popular use for this type of records is the email SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection, that ensures that an email address won't be spoofed and that individuals will not get spam from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record contains information about the mail server where your digital messages originate from and serves as confirmation that it is a reliable one. Because there are no standards regarding the content of this type of a record, you could add any other info as well.
