Transferring a domain name from one company to another ordinarily involves the use of a special authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP key, a domain password or an Auth-Info code. This code can be used as a security measure against unsanctioned transfer attempts with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. The code can be obtained only by the owner of the given domain and is issued by the present registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer procedure cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and traditionally comprises of digits and special symbols, so as to obstruct unauthorized persons from guessing it. Some registrars even alter the codes of domains registered through them every once in a while for better safety.
