Removing a Google account (also known as an “Account Unlink” or “Factory Reset Protection – FRP” removal) from the Mi A1 is not always as straightforward as deleting an email address. If done incorrectly, you could trigger Google’s security protocols, locking the phone permanently until the original password is entered.

If you factory reset the Mi A1 without removing the Google account first, the phone will automatically enable . When the phone boots up again, it will demand the Google email and password that was previously synced on the device. If you have forgotten your password or are selling the phone, this renders the device unusable.
