A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which contains information in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain name or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of verifying you are the owner of a given domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and that you must use as the record value. The same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your sites as well. Of course, in this situation the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also employed when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains info showing that a certain digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any other information as well, just like your company details, for example.
