You can share a temporary link to an unpublished entry by clicking on the "Share" button, right next to the "Live Preview" button.

This creates a link with a token that will expire automatically. The length of time that the token lasts for can be controlled with the [defaultTokenDuration](https://craftcms.com/docs/config-settings#defaultTokenDuration) config setting.
