Can you have more than one Google Site Verification tags

I have a domain that is set-up with Google Business Apps for email under one Google account, and I verified the domain using a google-site-verification TXT record. BUT, I've just added it to my Webmaster Tools which is under a different Google account, and added a second google-site-verification txt record along side the existing one, as it didn't detect the first TXT record.

Is this safe to do? It has verified ok, but I'm just wondering if it will break.

Can you have two Google site verifications?

Multiple people can verify ownership of the same website property, using the same or different verification methods. If you use the same verification method, just be sure that you don't overwrite the verification tokens of any other owners.

Can I have two Google site verification TXT records?

its perfectly fine. since you alerady have one account authenticated you could simple add another one from domain options in GWT rather than ading another external verification.

What is Google verification tag?

Verification is the process of proving that you own the site that you claim to own. We need to confirm ownership because once you are verified for a site, then you have access to its private Google Search data, and can affect how Google Search crawls the site.

its perfectly fine.

every google account has it's own google verification hash which you have to put in DNS TXT record, or in meta tag, or as a file, and you can do it multiple times,

BUT

since you alerady have one account authenticated you could simple add another one from domain options in GWT rather than ading another external verification.

You could do the same by adding this account as admin to GA account for this domain.
