Thanks, I appreciate the response. I never “lost” my account to require recovery, but I went through the recovery process any way. Nothing changed. I can still access the account in it’s entirety, I just can’t get Site Kit to verify.
The google verification t seems stuck in the past– continues to text to long un-used number as a verification method, while ignoring the current number as well as the secondary email, both of which are clearly listed with my Google account. It’s weird, And seemingly impossible to correct, as all you can do is “Recover,” which does not fix this.
Thanks again, I’m off to see if somewhere out there I might stumble across a “How to have Google Site Kit verification successfully pull the correct data from it’s own company servers.” Until then, I don’t think there’s any Site Kit in my future.
Oh, and I made sure to sign out of all accounts before making another attempt. Same result.
