What is the domain transfer authorization code?

Asked a year ago
The domain transfer authorization code, also known as an EPP code or transfer key, is a unique string of characters that acts as a security measure during the domain transfer process. It is like a password that ensures only authorized individuals or entities can transfer a domain between registrars. The code is provided by the current registrar and is required by the gaining registrar when initiating a transfer request. This code is essential for domain owners who wish to move their domain to a different registrar or hosting provider. It serves as a safeguard against unauthorized domain transfers, ensuring the rightful owner retains control over their domain name.
