A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which keeps info in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain address or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and that you should use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your sites as well. Needless to say, in this case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also used if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a particular digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, just like your company details, as an example.
