Access to the Business Central with a Gmail account

Hello everyone!

I have a problem understanding how I can connect users who use Gmail accounts on a daily basis with Business Central and what limitations it creates.
We have users that have gmail account instead of outlook.

I know that if I want to give them access to the system, I should set up these users as /guests/ and send an appropriate invitation - and also assign a license to BC. This will allow these users to log into the system and this is where the questions arise:
1/ When logging in to the system, will the user have to provide a gmail address and gmail password? When testing this, it turns out that the user who provides the gmail address receives a code to the gmail mailbox and instead of the gmail password when logging in to BC, he provides the code that he received in the mailbox.
2/ Is it possible to confirm login via MS Authenticator instead of a gmail code?
3/ Can users set up as /guests/ with a gmail account use the /Edit in Excel/ function if an Excel license is added to the /guest/ account?

4/ Is there anything that from your perspective we should pay attention to in the case of users with a gmail account? Are there any major limitations/differences compared to outlook accounts?

Unfortunately, I did not find all the information I needed, so the answer here clarifying these uncertainties will be very helpful.
