What Is Samsung FRP Lock & How Does It Work?

When it comes to locks on Samsung, we usually think of screen locks, such as password, pattern, PIN code, fingerprint, or face recognition. Except for various screen locks, Samsung Android also supports an extra lock designed for factory reset protection. Today we're going to talk about Samsung factory reset protection lock. Let's get right to it now!

1. What Is Samsung FRP Lock

Samsung FRP (Factory Reset Protection) lock is a security feature applied by Google on their Android devices (including Samsung phones) to prevent unauthorized access to a device after it has been reset to factory settings. This feature requires the original Google account credentials that were used to set up the device before it can be accessed again.

2. How Does Samsung FRP Lock Work

You don't need to download and install the FRP lock on Samsung. It's a built-in feature, which works by binding the device to a specific Google account. When the device is reset to factory settings, the FRP lock requires the user to enter the original Google account credentials that were previously used on the device. If the user cannot provide the correct Google account information, the device remains locked and inaccessible.

This helps to avoid unauthorized access to the device without the proper Google account and password after factory reset. Even if your Samsung Galaxy phone is lost or stolen somewhere, anyone who gets the device and tries to use it will be required for the original Google FRP lock password for verification.

3. How to Enable and Disable FRP Lock on Samsung

As long as you have an Android device, it is recommended to sign into a Google account first and add an extra layer of protection to your Android phone. If you want to factory reset your Samsung phone, it is advised to turn off the FRP lock ahead of time to avoid subsequent Google account verification for convenience.

To turn on Google FRP lock on Samsung:

• Once you sign into your Google account on a Samsung Android device (including Samsung phone and tablet), the FRP lock feature is activate automatically. No more actions are required.

To disable Samsung Factory Reset Protection lock:

• On your Samsung devie, go to Settings > Users & accounts.
• Click your Google Gmail address.
• Tap the menu from the up right corner of the screen.
• Tap Remove account and follow the on-screen instructions to remove the Google account from your phone.
