SES can not verify a LightSail DNS?

Question

Hello,  
  
I am trying to get SES verify my domain which is hosted at LightSail. There in my DNS Zone I am required to add   
  
A. a TXT record either with _amazonses subdomain, but LightSail does not allow _  
B. or a TXT with an empty subdomain, which Lightsail does not allow either.  
  
What else can I do to get SES verify my domain at LightSail.  
  
Paul

Answer

Hi,  
  
When you download record set for the domain you want to verify, you would see alternate domain verification record, you can add that record.

Answer

I can swear lightsail didn't allow _ in subdomain the last time I've tried. If AWS engineers have fixed this after my post, thank you!

Answer

The alternate domain verification record uses an empty subdomain which LightSail does not allow for TXT records.  
  
Or am I misunderstanding?
