How to Bypass Factory Reset Protection (FRP) on LG Devices

Google introduced a new security measure FRP factory reset protection in Android 5.0 Lollipop. The FRP is helpful for securing your data on the device in case if it gets steal. If your device got stolen, the thief will first of all wipe all the user data on device in order to sell it or use it by himself. But he won’t be able to perform a factory reset from settings and sure he’ll go for stock recovery option for this but even if he succeeds in performing factory reset he still won’t be able to use the device because the device will ask to enter Google account and password linked with device and that’s what FRP means, Thanks to Google.
