- Scroll down to the "Authorization Code" section.
- If your domain is transfer locked, press "Unlock Account" to unlock your account first.
- Once your account is unlocked, press the "Unlock" button to unlock your domain.
- The auth code which is a unique string of random letters and numbers will now be displayed in the "Authorization Code" section.
