Configure Google Android 14 device to disable the ability of the user to wipe the Android device. Enable the admin to inject a recovery account on the device so they can unlock FRP.

On the MDM console:

Disallow factory reset:

1. Open user restrictions.
2. Enable "Disallow Factory Reset".

Set factory reset protection policy:

COBO:

1. Device owner management >> Set factory reset protection.
2. From Accounts Section: Add Account >> Enter recovery account >> press "Ok".
3. From Enabled Section: Select "Enabled" to enable FRP policy.
4. Press "Save" to confirm all changes.

Check Contents

Review configuration settings to confirm that the user is unable to perform a factory reset and the admin has the ability to inject a recovery account on the device so they can unlock Factory Reset Protection (FRP).

This check procedure is performed on the device management tool and the Google Android 14 device.

On the MDM console:

Verify factory reset configuration:

COBO:

1. Open user restrictions.
2. Verify that "Disallow Factory Reset" is enabled.

Verify factory reset protection policy configuration:

From the Android Enterprise policy management:

1. Go to the Factory Reset Protection section.
2. Verify that "Factory Reset Protection" is set to "Allow/Enabled".
3. Verify that the correct Google Account ID(s) is/are listed as allowed to unlock the FRP.

On the managed Google Android 14 device, verify factory reset configuration:

COBO:

1. Open Settings >> General management >> Reset.
2. Tap the "Factory data reset" option.
3. Verify that the "Action not allowed" pop-up appears and factory data reset does not proceed.

If the Android device user is able to perform a factory reset or the admin cannot unlock the Android phone after an FRP event, this is a finding.
