For future use enable 2 factor authentication gmail:

Set Up Gmail Two-Step Authentication
  1. Visit Google 2-Step Verification.
  2. Click 'Get Started'
  3. Click 'Start Setup'
  4. Sign into your Gmail account.
  5. Click to turn on 2 step verification and enter a phone number under the "Voice or Text Message" option. ...
  6. Click 'Send code'
  7. Enter the verification code sent from Google and click 'Done'

In the future log into new device using your phone.

What I would do is create an app password for Outlook or Mac mail, and that way there is a set of credentials to use on the Mac and your normal way of doing things stay the same.
 
This is why we should stop automating everything
I think the word you were looking for is integration (not automating/automation).

Anyway having a single sign on or single password with multi factor authentication is a benefit, not a draw back. It's just this user seems to be IT handicapped (don't laugh it's a now recognised internationally as a mental disease).

Is it possible to ask the person that setup the gmail account for you if they can remember the password?

If not you will need to try password recovery. Hopefully they used your number also.

I've set up a lot of Gmail accounts for less techsavy people and I safe all their passwords cause I know they don't understand how these things work.

When your phone gets stolen, reset or replaced you will need that password to set it up again.
