    That one feature in the blog the article doesn’t talk about at all is called FRP and they aren’t saying it’s new they’re saying they’re upgrading it.

    We’re making it more difficult to do that with an upgrade to Android’s factory reset protection.

    And the reason for that is that FRP is easily bypassed if your phone isnt locked. Among other bypasses.

      are you retarded? didn’t you read how they are saying it makes it better, READ, it clearly says

      if a thief forces a reset of the stolen device, they’re not able to set it up again without knowing your device or Google account credentials

      this is old, and frp isn’t meant to protect unlocked phones in the first place, anybody can mess with any partition on an unlocked phone, there is a reason why oems void the warranty on unlocked phones so it is retarded to implement frp for unlocked phones and no the article isn’t even saying that they are doing that
