What is Vivo FRP (Factory Reset Protection)?
FRP (Factory Reset Protection) is basically a preventive tool in modern smartphones. It works internally and refrains any user from using the handset after the hard reset through recovery mode.
The Factory Reset Protection system gets activated as soon as a user enters Google details in the new phone. It is available on the devices only with Android Lollipop 5.0 or later OS.
