Good day,
I have two devices, a Nokia 5 and an iPhone 6 plus, both devices are fine when it comes to general use. But when it comes to accounts, it seems that iPhones don't easily let people delete signed in accounts on their device, usually they ask for a password before you can sign it out
However on my Nokia, sadly anyone can delete it, and if lost or stolen they can just factory wipe the phone, and frp doesn't seem to be present on my device
But regardless on that situation, i just want my account to be more secured that not anyone cam just easily remove it.
So is there a way to prevent my google account from being removed? Just like the iPhone, it asks for a password before you can sign it out?
Edit: oops, i was supposed to post this on the Q&A.... Sorry, my bad

Got my phone stolen..
Google doesn't give any help on removing google account.
Is there a way to remotely remove the google account from the stolen phone?
Says it's used market using my account so kinda in a hurry..
any methods will be fine.. no longer in my possession so ANYTHING!
please help..
What about changing your google password?
If you change your password, as mentioned, the account will no longer work on the phone without the new password. All of the data that has already synced will still be visible to whoever has your phone, but they will no longer be able to use your account.
Unfortunately there's probably not much else you can do. You can log into the Market on your computer and install some kind of phone tracking software, but it will have to be able to remotely enable GPS. You'll probably have to install the software before changing the password.

thanks for the advise..
as expected, google said change password as well, which I did, and they still somehow managed to access the account just yesterday.. lol..
just guess i'll have to delete it or something..
It might be worth giving this a try if you know the phone's still in use and you want to track it down!

Migrating LG G5 to G7 Thinq, but... forgot my Google password! The password was newly updated less than two weeks ago, along with a bunch of other passwords and for the life of me I can't remember it (well, only part of it).
Password recovery failed, I realised afterwards probably because I tried recovery while we were on the road (and guessing because I guessed the creation date wrong... who remembers that?!) I have 2step verification activated. No security questions get asked (only push/text messages to confirm codes). I have no recovery email activated anymore, used to be a work address but don't have that address anymore and I removed it without replacing it with a new one - stupid!
It has been many years since I last dabbed in any kind of programming, I am beyond out of touch, would very much appreciate the experienced users' advice.
Apart from recovery process I also attempted: searched in Chrome (on my phone) to hopefully find the password in the browser history, but realised (and saw) it won't be there as I always use Incognito mode in Chrome from my home PC.
The G5 is still logged in to Gmail app (new password) and Gmail browser (I suspect the previous password, which I remember). I am convinced that this information can be manipulated to either get my password back, or change it?
Okay whatever you do don't log out of your gmail or browser on the phone because I think this is your lifeline.
If as you say you are logged in on the browser then you will be able to get into your google account settings by clicking on the 9 square dots icon in the top right if you go to www.google.com. From there get into your account settings and set up new recovery email you can access, would be one suggestion from me.
Do some research on this so that your certain you know what your doing and won't make things worse. I think if you request a recovery password your current one won't work anymore and you'll be logged out of your gmail and google account. So make sure you set up the recovery email without any mistakes.

My son has a Samsung S7. Several months back his Gmail account was closed and we have no idea how or why. I had 2-step verification turned on to my own phone, so if any changes were to be made, I should have got a text message about it. I don't know how long it was from the time it was closed to the time he told me about it. I had tried doing an account recovery but Google refused. I tried writing into Google, but they gave me a canned response about how to do an account recovery and never bothered responding any more after I had said I had tried that already, and written in many times over asking what was going on. All of his game accounts were connected to that email address, including Steam and others, which caused a lot of problems. Now we are facing an even bigger one. As I mentioned, he has a Samsung S7. It was also connected to this closed Gmail account and now we have no access to any of the settings or anything else with it. I tried to do a factory reset to try to clear this, but when it started it asked for the account again. This account does not exist, and it seems like it was closed by Google themselves. How do I fix this?

try looking for S7 FRB bypass in

If the google account was closed I don't think there is any recovery

I have a S7. It used to power up fine and go to the main screen. Now it boots up like it is brand new. It wants to connect to the internet and asks for a gmail account. I don't have that gmail account for this phone. It was given to me. How can I bypass this to just use the phones apps and wifi to the internet? No paid service.
Thanks
Joe
When in doubt. Youtube it.
Well I still have questions. Do I have to do a restore defaults? Or clear data? I want to keep whats on the phone.
@joebudd
You disable FRP by doing
Go to Settings.
Choose Cloud and Accounts - on some devices, this may be just Accounts and then you’ll skip the next step.
Tap Accounts.
Find and tap your Google account.
Tap Remove Account.
The only problem is I can't get into the phone. It powers up and there is a start button. Then the internet, then sign in to the google account assigned to the phone. I need to get around that.

If you have USB debugging enabled on your phone, then to remove FRP lock you can try out Windows app called GSM Flasher ADB FRP Bypass Tool .
Ok I am in. There are so many different ways it's not funny. I do have another question. The phone comes up with the old number that was put in the phone. Can it be removed? Also can activation incomplete be removed as well?
