What Is FRP? Why Did Google Lock My Phone?
Factory Reset Protection (FRP), also Google lock, is a built-in security feature on Android devices running Android OS 5.1 (Lollipop) and higher. It protects your encrypted data and screen locks. Once you have logged into your Google account on this device, FRP will be activated automatically.
If the system considers that the device has been reset abnormally, or has been remotely cleared of data, you will be asked to enter the Google account and password signed in with, or the PIN/Pattern you’ve set up to authenticate your identity. This defense plays an important role when the phone is stolen.
