FRP: What You Need To Know

By Leave a Comment

What is Factory Reset Protection (FRP)?

An excellent method that you can use to prevent someone from simply wiping data or performing a factory reset on your phone provided it has been lost or possibly stolen. Factory Reset Protection (FRP) enables you to have a hold over your phone in a way providing automatic enhanced security. FRP works effectively on mobiles with android version 5.1 and greater. The most delightful feature is its ability to prevent unauthorized access to your device.

Consider your phone being stolen, an activated FRP would make it tough for the thief to unlock your device even though he/she attempts to reset. However, it is desirable the before you opt to sell or trade your device you must remove all the signed accounts to avoid problems for the next owner to activate the device.

An effective mechanism provided by all Android devices that aims to provide a great deal of security by protecting the users data. This method involves screen lock and data encryption. The security feature gets activated automatically once you sign up with your Google account. Later, if you attempt to reset your phone without signing out of said account(s), you will be unable to bypass the google account verification page until you sign in with your registered google id and corresponding password. This altogether prevents someone to use your phone even after performing a factory reset.

How Does FRP Work?

When a factory reset has been done on a device, it causes all the data, including files and all the downloaded apps to be permanently removed from your device. If you ever had signed in with your Google account in the device, it is genuine that FRP gets activated all by itself. This then suggests that post factory reset, you are expected to enter your old username and password to unlock your device. Failing to do so, your access would be debarred. It might so happen that you were logged in with multiple accounts. In such a scenario, you can use one of them to unlock your device.

Why is FRP Used?

Factory reset protection is most efficient in cases of lost or stolen phones. You might be worried but this unique feature makes it troublesome for the other person to access your device. Even if he/she is successful in erasing data, the FRP security feature would be still be popped up with a sign in option when he/she needs to enter the old username along with its password. So, with FRP,  thieves are definitely going to have a tough time deciding the FRP lock system and also opt for a  FRP removal service.

Is it Possible to Disable FRP?

In order to deem the effect of FRP go inactive, you need to manually remove all the signed in accounts from your device and also if your phone features a find my phone app, then this also required disability. Having said that, you must always know your username and password to perform a factory reset for your own use. If you don’t and desire to perform a factory reset, it is advised that you first go for a password reset and then opt for a factory reset to avoid unwanted problems.

You are also able to undergo a Google account bypass on your device. We have a few articles for our TehJunkies that explain the process.
