If you would like to transfer a domain from one registrar company to another, you’ll need a unique domain authorization code, which may be referred to by different names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain password, etc. All these names denote the exact same thing – a code that the domain owner receives from the current registrar and provides to the new one during the order procedure. Without a valid code, a transfer cannot be started and this is one of the protection measures against unsolicited transfers used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater security, the code comprises of digits and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you’d like to transfer one of your domain names, you need to supply the new domain name registrar with the right code.
