# Factory Reset Protection
**Factory Reset Protection (FRP)** is a security feature designed to protect Android devices from unauthorized use after a factory reset. When this protection is enabled, only authorized Google accounts — entered here in the CubiLock console — will be allowed to provision or activate a device after it has been reset.
#### Navigation:
Device Management → Device Profiles → Edit Profile → Privacy Settings → Factory Reset Protection
#### **What Factory Reset Protection Does**
Android’s built‑in **Factory Reset Protection** stops a device from being reused without proper authentication if it has been wiped outside normal device settings (e.g., via recovery mode or hardware keys). If a reset is attempted, the system will require a Google account that **was previously authorized** to complete setup.
In an enterprise environment, FRP helps:
* **Protect corporate devices** from unauthorized reuse if lost or stolen.
* **Ensure only IT‑approved accounts** can reactivate a factory reset device.
* Avoid lockouts when assigning devices to new users after decommissioning or repurposing.
#### **How to Add an FRP Email**
1. Click **Add Email** in the Factory Reset Protection section of the Privacy Settings tab.
2. in the **Add New Factory Reset Protection Email** dialog that appears:
* Enter the Google account email that you want authorized to unlock and activate a device after a factory reset.
* Click **Add** to save the email.
2. After adding the desired email(s), click **Save** at the top right of the profile to apply the policy.
