What is FRP and why it matters

Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security feature introduced by Google for Android 5.1 and higher. It ensures that when a device is factory-reset, it requires the previously synced Google account credentials. This protects the device and personal data from unauthorized access, theft, or misuse.

On the Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 (SM-A510F) running Android 7 (Nougat), FRP activates automatically when a Google account is added. After a factory reset, the device will request the same account credentials to proceed with setup.
