Good morning, I have a question, you can log in to the glide app, using a personalized username and password, without the need for an email. thanks

Not to save user passwords in Google Sheets.

That would be a really bad idea. If you wanted to try and implement some form of user/password authentication, at the very least the credentials should be in a Glide table. But, @david ’s advice is best. Just stick with the pin based authentication. It’s simple, secure, and it works.
