What is FRP Lock?

‘FRP’ known for the term “Factory Reset Protection”. It’s a security measure taken by Xiaomi for Android platforms and devices running on the Android 5.1 Lollipop or above version. This functionality gets activated once you sign in to a Mi Account on your Xiaomi Mi and Redmi device. And once it is activated, it will prevent you from using the phone until you enter the previous Mi Account Credentials. It will remain the same as well even after doing the factory data reset. So, if you have the previous account details, you’re good to go. Otherwise, you have to bypass the FRP lock via Mi Flash tool or Mi Account Unlock tool by tweaking some internal files.

Why Mi Account Unlock Tool?

We would use two methods to bypass the FRP / Cloud Verification on Xiaomi Android Devices. The first method is using Redmi Note 8 FRP bypass files and the second one is using Mi Account Unlock Tool. But wait, before we get straight to it, we want you to tap that Forget Password button under the password field on the MI Account Login Screen.
