What is Factory Reset Protection?
To add an extra layer of security to its Android operating system, Google introduced the Google Account Verification also known as Factory Reset Protection (FRP) starting with Android 5.1 (Lollipop). It gets activated automatically when we add any Google account on an Android phone. This locks the android phone, after a reset, so as to avoid any unauthorized access, to the phone. After resetting, we need to sign in to the same google account that was registered on the phone before resetting. Failing to do so, locks you out of the phone, and it becomes unusable unless the same account is signed in again.
