Accessing the domain name details page

Viewing and changing the Auth Code

To make changes to the Auth Code, you must first unlock Transfer Protection.

The Auth Code (Authorization Code) is the code assigned to the domain name when it is registered by the Registrar. This code allows a domain name to be transferred from one registrar to another, ensuring that the operation is carried out by the actual domain owner.
The Auth Code is displayed in the AUTHCODE area on the details page.
To change the code (and enable the CHANGE button), you must first unlock Transfer Protection.
