If you’d like to transfer a domain name from one registrar company to another, you’ll need a special code, which may be referred to by various names – an EPP authorization code, an Auth-Info code, a domain name password, and so on. All these names designate the same thing – a code that the domain registrant obtains from the current registrar and provides to the new one at the time of the order. Without a genuine code, a domain transfer process cannot be initiated and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unwanted transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For better safety, the code includes numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so in case you want to transfer one of your domain names, you have to present the new registrar with the right code.
