A TXT record is a [[dns|DNS]] record that holds arbitrary text data. While originally intended for human-readable notes, TXT records are now widely used for machine-readable purposes like email authentication ([[spf-record|SPF]], [[dmarc|DMARC]]) and domain ownership verification.
Example
A TXT record containing 'v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all' authorizes Google's servers to send email on behalf of your domain.
