iPhone 11 Mail: Gmail account verification issue on MacBook

Mail app question for iPhone 11. I added a second gmail account and want to add it to my phone using the iPhone mail app, not the Gmail app, although it is a Gmail account (FYI: I had downloaded the gmail app but don't like it).

I was prompted to verify it's me. WHY does this happen if my devices are synced? Why did I get an email that says security alert? Regardless, I can't add a second email account to my iPhone mail app for this reason. It says enter Yes on my other device, my MacBook but the screen doesn't prompt me to do anything.

I checked online and obviously it's for new phones and I have the 11. Kind of frustrating.

Can someone please advise instructions? Thank you in advance.

Yes gmail support can help you with your issue, you can also look at their help forum.
