A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It may be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and which you need to use as the record value. The same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your websites as well. Of course, in this situation the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore used when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses so that you can shield them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains information showing that a given digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any type of other information also, like your company details, for instance.
