I'm afraid I can't help you. I'm not sure whether Googlers here can either. I'd be surprised if they are allowed to modify user accounts outside the established processes.

I would recommend anyone who values their Google account, and who can afford it, to purchase two FIDO security keys and enroll in the Advanced Protection Program. [0]

Once you've done that, security warnings upon sign in go away. It would seem you can sign in on the least trustworthy IP address in the world, and Google will not bother you about it.

And your account essentially becomes intrusion proof, even from phishing attacks.

It's good, but a lot of integrations with Google do not work with advanced protection. Which results in me having 2 accounts, 1 primary and 1 secondary for whatever doesn't work with advanced protection. I've particularly found android tv to not play nice with advanced protection.
Is that program compatible with logging in to Gmail through the iPhone app?
Yes, and you can also use the native Mail app.
