Just a follow-up if anyone else has the same problem, I fixed this by
adding an .authinfo file like so:

 (setq gnus-select-method
       '(nnimap "gmail"
                (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo")
                 (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                 (nnimap-server-port 993)
                 (nnimap-stream ssl)
                 (nnir-search-engine imap)))
