What is an authorization code (auth code)?
The authorization code is a 6- to 16-character code assigned by the registrar. The auth code is a password for the domain. Auth codes are an extra security measure, ensuring that only the owner of the domain can make transfers.
If you do not know your auth code, you can obtain it from your registrar. Registrars are contractually required to provide the auth code upon the request by the registrant.
• Sponsoring registrars can obtain the auth code for their sponsored domains by sending an EPP <DOMAIN_INFO> command to the registry. Registrars are only able to obtain auth codes for the domain names they sponsor.
• NIXI does not give out authorization codes to registrants. NIXI advises that you change your auth code after a transfer. You can do this through the new (gaining) registrar.
