  title: Addresses Introduction Account Addresses Account Management Authentication API
  description: 'The Addresses API allows you to organize account addresses. Addresses are a sub-resource of `account` resources, an account can have multiple addresses, such as home, work, and neighbour.


    You can use an account address with either [client_credentials access token](/docs/api/authentication/create-an-access-token) or a combination of [implicit access token](/docs/api/authentication/create-an-access-token) and [Account Management authentication](/docs/api/accounts/post-v-2-account-members-tokens) token.

      summary: Generate an Account Management Authentication Token
      description: 'Commerce provides authentication tokens for anyone using the Account Management APIs, including accounts and account members.


        For each element in the list returned by the account member authentication API, a token value is returned. In order for a shopper to authenticate as the account, this value should be set as the `EP-Account-Management-Authentication-Token` header when calling Commerce. This header grants access to additional resources associated with the account, such as [carts](/docs/api/carts/account-cart-associations), [orders](/docs/api/carts/orders), [catalogs with associated rules](/docs/api/pxm/catalog/rules), and [addresses](/docs/api/addresses/addresses-introduction).


        The set of permissions available to a shopper using an Account Management Authentication token is documented in [Permissions](/docs/authentication/tokens/permissions)


        Commerce provides authentication tokens for an account and an account member using:


        - OpenID Connect

        - Username and password

        - Self signup

        - One-time password token

        - Switch account token
