If you would like to transfer a domain name from one domain name registrar to another, you will need a unique code, which may be referred to by multiple names – an EPP authentication code, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, etc. All these names designate the same thing – a code that the domain registrant obtains from the current domain registrar and provides to the new one during the order procedure. Without a genuine code, a domain name transfer process cannot be started and this is one of the safety measures against unsolicited transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-code extensions. For even better safety, the code comprises of numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you wish to transfer one of your domains, you have to supply the new registrar with the right code.
