A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that contains data in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of verifying that you're the owner of a given 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. The same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your Internet sites as well. However, in such a case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also used if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, like your company details, for example.
