How To Avoid Google Verification On Android When You Cannot Remember Your Login Information?

Google verification is a great way to make sure your account and Android device are safe. It is one of Google’s security features that you will definitely come across as a Android user.

There is a Factory Reset Protection too. Which is a security feature that makes your data protected even if your device is missing or stolen. What it does is it maintains your data, even if a reset happens. And Google’s verification is compulsory to enjoy the advantages of Factory Reset Protection.

If you can recall your Google login information that you made use of for setting up your phone, then you are good to go. If you cannot remember or the account is no longer active, verification becomes a problem instead of being a key security feature.

But, not to worry, we still have ways to find your way around Google verification, either by deactivating FRP or by resetting your phone.

Before we get into it, do not forget that these instructions are for whoever owns Lollipop 5.1 (an Android OS) or newer.

How To Bypass Google Verification- Deactivate Factory Reset Protection (FRP)

For anyone that has FRP on his or her mobile device, below is how you can deactivate it and bypass Google verification on your Android phone.

1. Head to your Settings.
2. Choose “Cloud and accounts,” then “Accounts” (It depends on your phone, it could be visible as “Accounts”)
3. Locate your Google account and choose it.
4. Click the 3 dots in the upper-right corner and click “Remove account” (A verification request might be presented to you.)

After confirmation, your account will be removed from that phone (but your Google account will be available whenever you intend to use it somewhere else,) and FRP will be removed from your phone too.

How To Bypass Google Verification- Reset Your Phone?

Being able to deactivate FRP might not be available to you. Meaning, a factory reset is your most appropriate option to bypass Google’s verification requirement.

Before you start, it is vital to note that doing this will get rid of all your data from the phone, taking it back to factory settings. (Therefore backing up your data is a wise move.) It is also going to take more of your time, but it will get the job done.

8.  In the upper-right corner, access the menu and click “Account.”
9. When that is done, you should be prompted to head to Settings, if it is asking you to verify, choose “Continue.”
