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.

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.
