All generic domain extensions and some country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose purpose is to prevent unwanted transfers of existing domain names. Lots of registry organizations that manage country-code top-level domain names that don’t support this feature are in the process of adopting it for better safety and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a person who has access to the account with the current domain name registrar can accomplish that. New domains are registered with the lock option activated intentionally, so as to stop any unsanctioned transfer attempts. The lock feature is among the security measures for controlling the transfer of existing domains between registrars that have been adopted over the years.
