If you would like to transfer a domain name from one registrar to another, you’ll have to go through several security steps. One of them is obtaining a special EPP authorization code from the present registrar company – on the condition that you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the domain owner’s email account and no one else can see it. You’ll need to provide this code to the new domain registrar, otherwise they will not be able to begin the domain name transfer. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may contain digits or special symbols such as dots or commas, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy & paste the correct code. As an additional safety measure, the transfer code for a domain name may be changed on a regular basis. Some registrars call this code an Auth key, a domain secret or a domain password as well.
