Transferring a domain from one registrar company to another traditionally involves the use of a special domain name authorization code, which different registrar companies call an EPP authorization code, a domain password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a protection measure against unsanctioned transfer attempts with all generic and with most country-code extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the particular domain and is issued by the present registrar company. It must be given to the new registrar because the transfer cannot be started without it. The code is case-sensitive and often includes numbers and special characters, so as to obstruct unauthenticated individuals from deciphering it. Some companies even change the codes of domains registered through them after a given amount of time for better safety.
