To understand the bypass process, one must first understand the purpose of FRP. Introduced to deter theft, FRP locks a device to the last active Google account synced to it. If a device is factory reset without the owner removing the account first, the phone essentially becomes a brick until the original credentials are entered. While this is a vital anti-theft measure, it creates legitimate headaches for users who may have purchased a second-hand device with a logged-in account, inherited a phone from a deceased relative, or simply forgotten their own credentials after a reset.
