Google has introduced a confidential mode to keep the vital information of your Gmail account safe. From now on, all your Gmail messages and documents will be more secure than before.
As of July 2022, 28.13% of email users prefer Gmail. Gmail is the easiest to contact for essential needs. Such information emerges in the research.
You can lock specific messages with a password using confidential mode in your Gmail account. As a result, the message cannot be copied, forwarded, or even downloaded and printed. You can unlock this lock anytime you want.
The following describes how to turn the confidential email option in Gmail from the Internet.
- Login to your Gmail account from a web browser.
- While composing the email, you can see a padlock and clock-like icon at the bottom. Click here.
- Then set the time for how long this lock will remain in the confidential mode option.
- Select the ‘SMS Passcode’ option if you want the code to be sent via message.
- Then write the message and send it to the recipient as you would typically send a message.
- But at this time, you have to give the recipient’s phone number.
The recipient will ask for the passcode as soon as they open the message. By using the passcode, he can view the message.
The recipient can only see the message you provide. He can not download and print. Through this, your Gmail account is more secure than before.
Generally, important office work requires sensitive information to be sent from one place to another. Then this confidential feature will play a significant role for you. Apart from the web browser, this feature can also be used in mobile Gmail.
