In plain English
A DNS entry that holds text. Sites use it to prove ownership (verification), and for email rules like SPF and DKIM.
TXT records are a flexible DNS record type that store text strings. They are used for domain verification (e.g. proving you control the domain for a service), SPF and DKIM for email, and other policy or verification data.
Our DNS lookup tool shows TXT records so you can confirm verification codes or inspect SPF/DKIM configuration.
