How to Bypass Google FRP (Google Lock) on Android for Free

Are you stuck on the Android device’s Verify your account screen after a factory data reset? Learn how to bypass Google FRP or Google Lock below without breaking the bank!

Mobile phone manufacturers and operating system developers use various security measures to help you protect your data and mobile phone from bad actors.

Some security features let you locate the phone remotely, erase data, lock the screen, show a phone lost message, and so on. At the same time, other security systems prevent access to the device even after a hard reset.

Google FRP or Google Lock is a stringent security measure that protects your interest in a lost mobile phone or tablet. Thankfully, there are some tricks you can try if you cannot recall the email address and password to unlock the phone. Read on to learn these free tricks.

What Is Google Factory Reset Protection or FRP (Google Lock)?

Like Find My iPhone on Apple, Google introduced a new security mechanism in its Android operating systems starting from Android 5.1 (Lollypop). It prevents access to an Android phone or tablet if you cannot log in with the last used Google account and its password.

Before this security system, mobile snatchers simply factory reset the device to access and use the phone. However, they would not be able to access your data since they factory reset the device.

You don’t have to do anything to activate Google FRP. Google Lock self-activates when you set up a mobile phone or tablet for the first time using a Google account. It should only trouble you through the device life cycle once you factory reset the device in an untrusted environment.

For example, if you factory reset the device by visiting Android Settings app > System > Reset options > Erase all data (factory reset), Google Lock won’t get activated once the device restarts.

But, if you use the Recovery Options of Android to factory data reset the device, you’ll face Google FRP for device ownership verification. You can successfully pass this verification by logging in with any Google account you’ve previously used on the device.

How to Bypass Google FRP (Google Lock): Disable FRP

The best and effortless way to bypass Google Lock is to disable this feature before factory resetting your mobile phone or tablet. This option is highly recommended if you buy a pre-owned Android device.

When buying, ask the owner to remove their Google account from the device to disengage the factory reset protection lock. Follow the steps mentioned below:

• Open the Android Settings app.
• Navigate to Accounts.

• Select Google.
• Inside Google, tap the three vertical dots menu and click Remove Account.

• On the confirmation screen that follows, tap Remove Account once more.
• Tap OK on the Are you sure? dialogue box.

• Confirm the action by entering the device Password, PIN, Pattern, or any device lock you use.

You can factory reset the device and set up the mobile phone using a new Google account through a successful Google FRP bypass.

How to Bypass Google FRP (Google Lock): Password Reset

You can also reset the Google account password. Then use the email and new password to bypass FRP on Google account. Here’s what you need to do:

• Visit the Reset your password portal of Google.
• Enter your email and follow on-screen guidance.

• Once you’ve reset your password, wait 24 hours.
• Keep the mobile phone On and connected to the Wi-Fi.
• After 24 hours, log in using the new password.

This FRP Google bypass method works if the Android device has an internet connection and you allow the minimum cooling period of 24 hours. Sometimes it can take 72 hours. If you enter the wrong password, you’ll have to wait again for 24 – 72 hours.

You can also delete the device from your Google account. Then, allow anything between 24 – 72 hours for Google servers to update this change. Restart the device again after the cooling period, which should cause Google FRP to bypass successfully.

You can try the following steps on a second mobile phone, Android tablet, or computer:

• Log in to your Google Account.

• Click Security and then select Your devices.

The above steps also help you find the correct Google account from which you previously used the Android device. Once you know, you can enter your email and password to verify on the Google FRP (Google Lock) screen.

This FRP Google bypass trick utilizes a loophole in the Google Keyboard. It has a shallow success rate and might not work on many updated Android phones and tablets.
