Description

Hi.

I use Dyn (dyn.com) DNS services for one of my domains.

When trying to add a TXT Record in Dyn, it's unable to accept the "@" for the name or host name of the TXT Record.

Error message:
"You should enter valid hostname label."

Is there an alternate option besides using "@" that can be used? Like perhaps "keybase"?

I confirmed "keybase" is accepted.

Research direction

No repository files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Begin by checking how Keybase expects DNS TXT records and whether the Dyn provider's handling of the @ host is documented; done means documenting a supported hostname or confirming that no alternate exists.
