Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and bringing your concern to our attention.

The HTML code on the Webmaster Tools is only necessary to verify the website on the GSC account. If you've already verified your website, you don’t have to use this field on the Webmaster Tools.

Now you can proceed to connect GSC to your Rank Math plugin by following this guideline: https://rankmath.com/kb/connect-your-google-account

Also, please note that our plugin doesn’t fully support fetching data from domain properties (sc-domain:yourdomain.com). You’ll have to connect the URL-prefix property to fetch the data properly in Rank Math Analytics.

The URL-prefix property also helps keep your sitemap in sync with Google Search Console as we submit it automatically for you. In addition, the domain property won’t work correctly on some sections of the Analytics module such as the IndexStatus.

Hope that helps and please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions. 
 
Thank you.
