Securing your high value domain names ? - GoFuckYourself.com

How to secure a domain name so it can't be easily transferred? For example, now anyone who has access to my GoDaddy account can log in and transfer. Ideally, a domain name service that asks for some kind of lawyer-written letter or something before making any changes, or they need to get an electronically signed copy, etc.

I think Moniker offered something like this way back in the day, although I doubt any reputable registrar will do this today.

Maybe take a look at Dynadot - https://www.dynadot.com/domain/security

Haven't used Godaddy in many years but maybe you can do something similar with them like two factor authentication or hardware auth?

Good luck

They will, at request, send you a specific USB-cryptographic key, which is needed to identify and be able to fo domain changes.
