A DKIM selector is a string that helps identify which DKIM key to use for verification. Common selectors include "default", "mail", or "dkim". You can use any alphanumeric string, but "default" is commonly used. If you have multiple mail servers, you can use different selectors for each.
For most users, 2048-bit keys provide excellent security and are widely supported. 1024-bit keys are less secure but compatible with older systems. 4096-bit keys offer maximum security but may have compatibility issues with some mail servers. We recommend 2048-bit for the best balance.
