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 popular use of a TXT record is to add your website to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides information about the traffic to your web site. Setting up this type of a record can serve as verification that you are the domain name owner and they will provide the content you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another application of a TXT record is to validate that an e-mail message is sent by the domain owner and from a trusted web server - this is the so-called SPF security, that prevents any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send unsolicited mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could include any other information which you want to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.
