Has your Vivo Y1 or Y18 been factory reset and now stuck on the "Verify your Google Account" screen? This common issue is called FRP (Factory Reset Protection). If you've forgotten your Gmail password, don't worry! This guide will show you how to unlock your phone using the EasyShare and Activity Launcher method.
🛠Prerequisites

- Access to both phones simultaneously.
Step-by-Step Unlocking Process
Step 1: Activate TalkBack
On the Welcome screen, press and hold the Volume Up + Volume Down buttons for 5 seconds. Tap "Turn On," then hold them again until TalkBack is activated. Draw an inverted "L" on the screen to open Accessibility Settings.
Step 2: Access Google Assistant
Enable the Accessibility Menu Shortcut. Now, disable TalkBack by holding the volume buttons. Use the Shortcut icon to open Google Assistant and say: "Open EasyShare."
Step 3: App Transfer via EasyShare
On your second phone, install EasyShare and Activity Launcher from the Play Store. Use EasyShare to send Activity Launcher to the locked Vivo phone and install it.
Step 4: Clone Google Account
Open Activity Launcher on the Vivo phone. Navigate to Android Setup. On the second phone, open Google and say "Set up my device." Follow the on-screen instructions to copy your Gmail account over to the locked phone.
