A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that contains information in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain name or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of confirming that you're the owner of a certain domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and which you will need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your sites as well. However, in this case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally used when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to protect them from being forged. In this case, the record contains info showing that a given digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, such as your business details, for example.
