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.

The password you use when you setup your google account on a new phone, that's the gmail password. Pleasure.

And this is why people's identities get stolen because they don't even know they have a password, never mind what it is...which will be something not far removed from "password123".

Jirre fok.

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.
