EPP Transfer Protection

What's an EPP code? What's its role? How important is it as far as domain name transfers are involved?

If you would like to transfer a domain from one registrar company to another, you’ll have to pass through a couple of security procedures. One of them is obtaining a unique EPP code from the present domain registrar – as long as you are the registrant, since the code is emailed to the domain owner’s mailbox and no one else can obtain it. You’ll have to provide this code to the new registrar, otherwise they will not be able to start the domain name transfer. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may comprise of digits or special symbols such as commas or dots, which can be easily mistyped, so make sure you copy/paste the correct code. As an extra protection measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain may be reset on a regular basis. Certain registrars call this code a domain password, an Auth key or a domain secret as well.
