How to send sensitive emails from Gmail?
Not every message we send in Gmail is secure. This does not mean that all messages sent through Gmail are insecure.
The risk of data theft on the Internet is high. For that we can adopt a safe way. Similarly, it is not only that person who receives the messages you send to that Gmail.
That person can forward the sensitive messages you send to anyone. Therefore, you have to be careful about what kind of email you are sending to which person.
In 2018, Google released a confidential mode for Gmail to protect users' sensitive emails.
Through this setting, a message will disappear shortly after being sent to someone and prevent other users from forwarding, copying or downloading it.
You can use this feature of Google from desktop or mobile Gmail app. You must turn on confidential mode every time before sending any sensitive message.
Turn on confidential mode in the browser like this
First, go to Gmail.
Then enter the address of the person you want to send sensitive email to.
Then type the sensitive message you want to send.
- After that, a lock (toggle confidential mode) icon appears below. After clicking on it, you have to select the most suitable date.
- After that there is an SMS passcode option below. (This is useful for users from other countries. Because it doesn't have an option to include Nepali phone number.) So put No SMS passcode in it.
Then save.
Then you can send it by clicking on send option.
