What is FRP?
FRP stands for Factory Reset Protection. It's a security feature implemented by Google to protect Android devices from unauthorized access. Once FRP is activated on a device, it requires the user to enter the Google account credentials that were previously synced with the device before performing a factory reset. This feature is designed to prevent someone from wiping a device and then using it as their own.
