Google is improving the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) feature on Android to further prevent stolen devices from being resold. The company unveiled this update at The Android Show: I/O Edition. With the upgraded FRP, a second factory reset will be required if any attempts to bypass the setup wizard are detected, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to use a stolen device.
