A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is 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 Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides info about the traffic to your web site. Creating this type of a record functions as confirmation that you're the domain address owner and they'll provide the content that you ought to include as the value when you set up the record. Another application of a TXT record is to validate that an email message is sent by the domain address owner and from a trusted hosting server - this is the so-called SPF security, that helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send out spam making it appear like it was sent from your own mailbox. You could add any other information that you'd like to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.
