To me this is similar to the secret's 'store' vs 'create': the former is more in line with the mental model for *storing* secrets than the latter (which implies we are *generating* a secret when we aren't). So I was looking for a sub-command verb that was more in line with what you are actually doing here, which is *starting* a verification process than *creating* a verification entity (which is just a side effect of performing an async call). So maybe 'keep verification start' is better that what is there now?
