feature request/proposal: enable Google accounts instead of service accounts

[fili]

It would be nice if you can authenticate an existing Google Account, so you do not need to share access with a service account for all GSC properties, in addition to a Google Account.

Although I see the service accounts as the primary safe solution, it is causing a lot of double work.

Thanks Fili, I started out going (oauth) prior to moving forward with service accounts (before I really knew how SA worked). Service accounts made it really easy to share the email with clients to authenticate the connection, especially to properties that we did not own, but were one given restricted permission on.
