A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most common use of a TXT record is to add your website to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides info about the web traffic to your site. Creating this sort of a record serves as proof that you're the Internet domain owner and they will supply the content you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to verify that an e mail 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 name to be forged and unauthorized people to send out spam making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could add any other info which you want to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.
