Step 1:

On your computer, go to Gmail and click Compose.

Step 2:

Click "Turn on confidential mode" in the bottom right. For emails already in confidential mode, click "Edit" at the bottom.

Step 3:

Set an expiration date and passcode. These settings impact both the message text and any attachments.

Step 4:

If you choose "No SMS passcode" lets Gmail app users open it directly. Non-Gmail users receive an emailed passcode for access.

Step 5:

If you choose "SMS passcode," recipients will get a passcode by text message. Make sure you enter the recipient's phone number, not your own.

Step 6:

Click Save.
