# Obtaining Your Google ID for Factory Reset Protection

## Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is an Android security feature that prevents unauthorized use of a device after a factory reset by requiring sign-in with the last Google account used. In Springmatic, administrators can configure a designated Google account ID in the Security settings of an Android Edge profile so that managed devices can be unlocked and redeployed after a reset without requiring end-user credentials. This guide explains how to retrieve your Google account ID and configure it in the Springdel console.

#### **Key Benefits**

- **Prevent Unauthorized Device Access –** Ensure only accounts registered in the profile can set up a device after a factory reset.
- **Centralized IT Control –** Manage FRP bypass authorization directly from the Springmatic console without distributing end-user credentials.
- **Faster Device Recovery –** IT teams can unlock and redeploy factory-reset devices without contacting individual users.
- **Compliance Enforcement –** Prevent employees from bypassing corporate management through unauthorized factory resets.

#### **Before You Begin**

Ensure you have the following before proceeding:

- A Google account to use as the authorized FRP bypass account.
- Access to the Springdel console with proper permissions.

### **How To Retrieve Your Google Account ID**

Your Google ID is a unique 21-digit number linked to your Google account. Use the Google People API Explorer to obtain it.

1. Open the following link in your browser:
   
   [Google People API Explorer – people/me](https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest/v1/people/get?apix=true&apix_params=%7B%22resourceName%22%3A%22people%2Fme%22%2C%22personFields%22%3A%22metadata%22%7D)
2. In the Request parameters panel, confirm the following values are set:  
   resourceName: people/me  
   personFields: metadata
3. Under Credentials, ensure Google OAuth 2.0 and API key are both selected.
4. Click Execute.

5. When prompted, sign in with the Google account whose ID you want to obtain and authorize access.
6. In the response panel (200 OK), locate the resourceName field. The 21-digit number at the end of the value is your Google ID.
7. Copy this 21-digit number — you will enter it in the profile

**Example:** "resourceName": "people/**116918943653279441086**"

**Note:** The ID belongs to the Google account you were signed in with when you clicked Execute. Ensure you are logged in with the correct account before running the request.
