TXT is a DNS record, that contains info in human-readable form for external sources to obtain information about a certain domain or subdomain. In the most common case, this type of record is used to prove that you own a domain if you're trying to add it to an online search engine or to some traffic analytics platform. Due to the fact that only the Internet domain owner/administrator is able to add custom DNS records, the TXT record works as a verification of ownership for the firm offering the service. Another popular use for this kind of records is the email SPF (Sender Policy Framework) security, that makes sure that an e-mail address will not be spoofed and that people will not receive spam from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record includes information about the mail server where your electronic messages arrive from and functions as confirmation that it is a reliable one. Since there are no rules about the content of this sort of a record, you could add any other information as well.
