Google is upgrading its Factory Reset Protection feature on Android devices to further secure them against theft. Previously, Factory Reset Protection required a Google login or PIN after a factory reset, preventing unauthorized access. The latest update aims to close loopholes that knowledgeable thieves could exploit, such as bypassing setup procedures. Now, if a factory reset occurs, full functionality will remain blocked until proper ownership is verified. This enhancement comes alongside a previous anti-theft update that utilizes motion sensors to detect theft in real time, reinforcing device security significantly.
With Google enhancing Factory Reset Protection, unauthorized access to Android phones will be significantly limited, preventing thieves from easily resetting and reselling stolen devices.
The new changes will force a login even if someone bypasses the initial setup, ensuring that any factory reset will not regain functionality without ownership confirmation.
