-Xverify:all Enables verification for all classes and enables -Xfuture verification.   You cannot use this setting in conjunction with -XX:+ClassRelationshipVerifier.   Note: This setting might have an impact on performance.
-Xverify:remote For compatibility, this parameter is accepted, but is equivalent to the default -Xverify.
-Xverify:none Disables the verifier.   Note: This is not a supported configuration and, as noted, was deprecated from Java 13. If you encounter problems with the verifier turned off, remove this option and try to reproduce the problem.
