Check out DeltaChat. It uses your existing email address. It
doesn't require any passphrase setup. And.. it's possible to
synchronize the app across multiple devices that can use the
same email address.
Telegram is OPEN source. It's in the 1st paragraph here:

DeltaChat might be a good option for those people you mention
who might like to entertain some extra privacy in email every
now and then.
