On your Android device, the screen password, including PIN and pattern, is the safeguard to protect your local data. The Google account password, on the other hand, safeguards your online identity and data synchronization across devices. It is also required for Factory Reset Protection (FRP), which prevents others from reusing your device after a reset.

When it comes to resetting, the difficulty level is not the same as we mentioned. Forgetting the Android screen password usually leads to phone data loss, even if you know the Google password to remove FRP.

Here we have one good practice: store your device password securely, for example, as a note saved in your Google account. At the same time, strengthen your Google account by adding a recovery phone number and recovery email, so that if you ever forget your Google password, you can reset it quickly and safely.
