Last year, I ordered a used Samsung Galaxy S7 online. Turns out the old user hadn’t wiped out his phone entirely and the OS was still logged on to his Google account. This turned out to be a nightmare because there was no way I could contact the seller and without logging into his Google account, there was no chance that I could use my own credentials. That was the time I had to look over the internet the different ways to bypass FRP on Samsung S7. And sure enough, there are ways that will allow you to log in as well if you are in such a fix.
Part 1: What You Should Know about the FRP
Factory Reset Protection comes on Android devices with Lollipop and higher. The main purpose of this new security feature is to save the users device from being accessible to any unauthorized personal use. Suppose the device gets stolen or is lost, the new user may try to reset the device for wiping off the previous data on the device. The Factory Reset Protection protocol is such that it will perform the reset but will require the Google Account verification for accessing the device use.
