Use your work email domain (e.g., @yourcompany.com) so your team members can easily join your organization later.
Verify Your Domain
Before scanning, you must prove domain ownership. This is a security requirement that prevents unauthorized scanning of third-party assets.
DNS TXT Record
RecommendedAdd a TXT record to your domain's DNS configuration. Fastest and most reliable method.
HTML File
AlternativeUpload a verification file to your website root. Good if you don't have DNS access.
Important
