Google/Chrome Password Manager?

But how did they get his Gmail password in the first place?

I'm not sure if I have the same password reset flow as OP, but when I try to reset my password and even provide the 2fa code, it basically doesn't let me get past a certain point without contacting my backup email address or making me use a phone which I'm logged in on to complete the reset

The article gives advice to change your passwords because of leaks. So as the post above suggests, it really sounds like they reused their google password somewhere. Then had Google sign-on for Coinbase, or had their Coinbase password in Google.
