Now, you may ask what is the FRP Lock? It’s called ‘Factory Reset Protection’. In order to increase the device security and protect the user data, Google has implemented a new security feature called Factory Reset Protection or the Google Account Verification. These days most of the Snapdragon and MediaTek devices come with this new security feature so that an unknown person can’t easily use your device by doing a factory reset like before. Now, every time you reset your handset, Google will ask you to input the existing Google account credentials to verify your authentication. However, if in case you’re unable to unlock the FRP lock on your Infinix Hot 10 handset or can’t remember the Google account ID/password then you can follow this guide to easily remove or bypass the FRP lock.
What is FRP Lock or Google Account Lock?
The Google Account Lock or FRP means the Factory Reset Protection. If you’ve signed in with your Google ID on an Android device and then perform the factory reset for any reason, Google will cross-check the user authentication. It enhances the device as well as user privacy.
The FRP Lock was first introduced with the Android 5.1 Lollipop version but it’s getting more strict with Android Oreo and Pie running devices. Therefore, if you don’t have the old account credentials, you need to bypass it via SP Flash Tool. In order to start the flashing process, some of the files and drivers will be required for your device. Follow the pre-requirements properly and then proceed.
