Made my matrix.org account by signing in with google (big mistake) (sh.itjust.works)

What's up, I'm new to matrix and have just been getting into it, I'm trying to replace discord with it. When prompted to make an account I stupidly chose the "continue with google" option. This didn't seem like such a big deal at first, but now as far as I can tell it's impossible for me to sign in on my phone. The element client on IOS doesn't have an option to continue with google, and since I chose that I don't have a password, and I can't make a password without providing my existing password (which I don't have). Does anyone have any ideas? should I just make a new account and start fresh?

There's a way to get a regular signin after the fact; I had this same problem. I will get back to you.

Edit: Here you go

You're a lifesaver. I feel like they should really make that an easier process.
