Gmail users can send password-protected email! Do it THIS way

Sending a regular email to someone means that the email can be viewed by anyone who has access to their account. Not just that, it may also appear in notification previews. In other words, the privacy of your email is dependent on the security of the recipient's device and account. Therefore, when sharing confidential or sensitive data via email, it is advisable to use additional security measures.

Thankfully, Gmail has this confidential mode that allows you to send messages and attachments to help protect sensitive information from unauthorized access with a password. Confidential mode offers the option to set an expiration date for messages or revoke access whenever needed. Additionally, recipients of the confidential message won't be able to forward, copy, print, or download the content, which helps prevent accidental sharing of your email.

Wondering how to send a password-protected email on Gmail? Check out this step-by-step guide.

In case you have received a password-protected email, then you should know how to access it. Check out the steps below:

• In case the sender has used the confidential mode to send an email, you can access the message and its attachments until either the expiration date or the sender revokes access.
• However, options to copy, paste, download, print, or forward the message text and attachments will be deactivated.
• It is possible that you may have to input a passcode to open the email.
