If you’d like to transfer a domain from one company to another, you’ll need a unique domain authorization code, which may be called by different names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names denote the very same thing – a code that the domain owner gets from the current registrar and provides to the new one at the time of the order. Without a genuine code, a domain name transfer cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unapproved transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater security, the code comprises of numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you want to transfer one of your domains, you need to present the new domain registrar with the right code.
