title: Is it ok to remove Google TXT verification records after I've authorized my domain with Google?
body: <p>For Google Analytics, I had to prove that I owned my domain. I added a TXT record to do this. I also had to prove to Microsoft that I owned my domain by uploading a file (BingSiteAuth.xml) to my site.</p>
  
  <p>Now that I'm up and running with Analytics and Webmaster tools for Google and Bing, can I remove these verification records, or will that break analytics? Does leaving the record and file there pose any kind of security risk?</p>
