 * (@omeida)
 * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-google-authorization-code-4/)
 * I went to Search Console to verify my site with Google Search Console.
    The console
   told me it has successfully verified ownership Proof, I tested it like Yoast 
   states:
 * “siteUrl”: “[http://www.omeidachinese.com/&#8221](http://www.omeidachinese.com/&#8221);,
   “
   permissionLevel”: “siteOwner”
 * But when I want to input my code I get the error: Incorrect Google Authorization
   Code
 * Always shows **Incorrect Google Authorization Code**
 * I can not unauthenticate it, Can not do it manually either
    I read all the articles,
   I do not know what now?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fincorrect-google-authorization-code-4%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I clearly wrote: The console told me it has **successfully verified ownership**
   
   Proof, I tested it like Yoast states:
 * “siteUrl”: “http://www.omeidachinese.com/”,
    “permissionLevel”: “siteOwner”
 * I also wrote: “Can not do it manually either
    I read all the articles,” ** My
   site has been verified with google. The problem is not with webmasters tool. 
   The problem is with yoast not accepting my authentification code in Search console
   settings
 *  “To allow Yoast SEO to fetch your Google Search Console information, please 
   enter your Google Authorization Code. Clicking the button below will open a new
   window.”
 * Yoast can not accept the code that Google gives: **“Incorrect Google Authorization
   Code”**

 * Sometimes strange behavior may be caused by a plugin or theme conflict. The fastest
   way to rule out conflicts is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to
   a standard theme like [Twenty Seventeen](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyseventeen/).
   If this resolves the issue, you have a conflict and should activate one plugin
   at a time until you locate the conflict. Finally, after all plugins are active,
   switch to your theme. This will narrow down the conflict to a specific plugin
   or theme.
 * If you are unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we wrote a small guide that
   will walk you through the steps. You can find it here: [How To Check For Plugin Conflicts](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/#utm_source=support&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=support-link)

 * Hello [@amboutwe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amboutwe/)
 * I have tried EVERYTHING. No way I can get Yoast to accept my Google Authentication
   Code. Is there a way you can sort out this problem on your end?
 * Please assist

   We’d need to investigate further but are unable to do so on these forums. You
