Google is sending some domain holders who were with Google Domains and who are automatically being migrated to Squarespace notices that their Search Console verification may go away. This is only if you do not host your DNS records with Google and you set up DNS verification with Google Search Console.

The email reads:
Domain may lose verification to Search Console after migration to Squarespace Domains.

We are reaching out to inform you that starting 14 days after the migration, your domain may lose verification to Google Services including Search Console.
