So I wanted to login to mal when I made the account but it gave me the option of logging in using gmail. I did that.

I have been using mal with no issues on pc where I can login google, then use that orange button to login to mal.

But If I want to use mal [by loggin in] say on my phone or am using an alt email [which is used on andriod phone] I cant.

I have tried registering but it says email already registered. I reied loggin into mal but well, I dont even have a ussername. if I do use my email, that password fails.

I didnt register on mal, but used login using google ac. am I stuck doing this forever, or cxan I set a user id and password for mal?
if yes, how so?

As far as I know, if you disconnect all you social accounts (in your case google) mal gives in a prompt to make a password, I guess you do know where the account linking settings are right?
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce.

No I do not know where they are.

also if I log out of google, unlike youtube which auto disconnects, I stay logged into mal.

https://myanimelist.net/editprofile.php?go=myoptions I am guessing, your email id would be of gmail (or any other provider) and in the section beneath google account linking button will be there.

I feel like you're teasing me now. The password requirement for mal are convoluted and somehow many people have trouble in making a strong passable one. The only thing I can say is good luck and note that tricky password somewhere :P
