A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with a domain as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most widespread use of a TXT record is to add your site to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides details about the targeted traffic to your Internet site. Setting up this type of a record functions as verification that you are the Internet domain owner and they will provide the content you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to validate that an email message is sent by the Internet domain owner and from a trusted server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that prevents any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send out junk e-mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could include any other info you want to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.
