Connecting Google Search Console, once, on the web

The prompt asks for exactly this much:
- Read your Search Console performance data
After authorising, you pick which property?.
Your Google Search Console credential is encrypted with its own key, bound to your account and the provider. Our server calls Google Search Console and hands your Mac a normalised number, so the Mac app never holds the credential. Remove the integration and the encrypted key is deleted with it.
