Hi, AdWords API doesn't authenticate using email/username and password combination. Instead, authentication happens using OAuth2, details for which are available here <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/first-api-call#set_up_oauth2_authentication>. In other words, to connect an external tool to an AdWords account via the API, you need two things: a developer token (associated with a manager account) and valid OAuth credentials (which includes client ID and client secret). OAuth credentials can be created using any email address associated with the target AdWords account or the manager account of the target AdWords account. As long as this configuration is available in the external tool, the tool would be able to access the data of the target AdWords account.
Please revert if you have more questions.
