  1. A confidential (self-destructing) message from Gmail will initially appear in your inbox looking exactly like a regular message. As you normally would, open it.

  3. On mobile devices, your browser app or a new tab will open. You'll notice a message identifying the email address to which the message was sent in the new tab. You can ask for the code required to open it if you are the owner of the address. To obtain the code, choose to Send Passcode.
  4. Wait for a new message from Google to arrive in your inbox, then open it to reveal the passcode for your message.
  5. Returned to the message tab in your browser, copy or memorize the code, then type it in there.
  6. You will be logged in and see the message after entering the code in the browser tab. Select Sign Out once you're done.
