Transferring a domain from one company to another ordinarily entails the use of a unique domain name authorization code, which different companies call an EPP key, a domain name password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a safety mechanism against unwanted transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain and is issued by the present domain name registrar company. It must be given to the new domain name registrar company because the transfer process cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and typically comprises of digits and special symbols, so as to obstruct unauthorized people from breaking it. Certain registrars even reset the codes of domain names registered through them after a certain period of time for even better safety.
