In case you wish to transfer a domain name from one domain registrar to another, you will need a unique transfer code, which may be called by different names – an EPP authentication code, an AuthInfo code, a domain name password, etc. All these names denote one and the same thing – a code that the domain name registrant obtains from the present registrar and gives to the new one during the order process. Without a genuine code, a domain name transfer process cannot be started and this is one of the protection measures against unwanted transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater safety, the code comprises of numbers and/or special characters and is case-sensitive, so in case you would like to transfer one of your domain names, you have to supply the new registrar company with the correct code.
