If you would like to transfer a domain from one company to another, you will need a unique authorization 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 exact same thing – a code that the domain owner obtains from the current domain registrar and provides to the new one during the order procedure. Without an authentic code, a domain transfer procedure cannot be started and this is one of the safety mechanisms against unwanted transfer attempts used with all generic and with most country-specific extensions. For even greater security, the code contains numbers and/or special symbols and is case-sensitive, so if you would like to transfer one of your domains, you have to provide the new domain registrar with the right code.
