Google Authentication??

[Sword Fish]

I got my new S8+ today and set everything up using only wireless. During setup, I forgot my google password so I reset it. After I got everything setup, I shutdown and inserted the SIM card. To my surprise, my phone reset completely. Now when I try to reconfigure the phone, during the google password authentication process, I get a message that I the phone was reset and because of the password change I can't use it for 24 hours?? What kind of crap is that? Does anyone know how to get around this??? I can't use my new phone at all because I can't get logged in??

Can you login and authenticate on a web browser? Have you tried to boot into stock recovery, do a factory reset and don't login to your google account during setup?

Try PWR + VOL UP or PWR + VOL Down to get into recovery mode once you boot up the phone.

I can't get into recovery mode. I tried PWR and Vol up and down and neither works, phone just boots. There is no home button on the S8 so how do you get to recovery?

Ok, you have hold the Bixby button also. This is really strange. I can login to my account on my PC but not on the phone? What kind of security is this? Designed to tick you off, that's all I can see.

Guess the Bixby button acts like the old home button. Were you able to do a factory reset and see if that fixed the issue?

Yes, I was able to factory reset but it didn't solve the problem. Googles ridiculous security won't let you use a new password on a phone that has been reset for 24 hours? Why can't you verify who you are and continue. Severe overkill if you ask me. The worst thing is, I didn't reset the phone, the google software did! All I did was setup the phone and reboot it and it reset itself...

Even weirder, is that during the setup, you can say you forgot password. You then have an option to send a request to reset your password to your old device. When you say yes, your old device gets a prompt and you can reset your password. Even that doesn't work on a reset phone!

The more I think about this google security method, the more I realize it is designed to punish one person, the true owner of the phone. If my phone had been actually stolen, and it wasn't me that reset the password or the phone, the thief will still have access in 24 hours so that part of the security hasn't played any part at all. So I the true owner of the phone is being punished because my phone reset itself. Makes no sense at all. Security has to be something that is logical and not crippling. This policy cripples your phone and punishes you if you have an accidental reset. Thanks for nothing Google!!

Sorry to hear that. By any chance you called Google for tech support?

Call up google and they should be able to fix it.

Also you can skip the google account and log into the phone you just cant use gmail or playstore.
And there is a way around this i just dont remember what it was. Had to do this to my wifes phone a while back when she forgot her password.

I think it was to skip the google sign in, in setup. Then add the log into google via the web browser and then add the google acccount via system accounts.

I wish it was that easy. Google said nothing they can do. Have to wait 24 hours.

Not sure if this new with OS7 but you cant get by the Google log on screen any longer. The NEXT key is greyed out so you cant bypass. Only have 5 more hours to wait.

Thats sucks and good to know. Sorry you had to be that guy to find out for the rest of us. Thanks for taking one for the team!

You have to wait 24-48 hours to get into your phone. It'a a security measure from google against stolen phones.
I had the same problem with an S7edge, depending on firmware version there were methods to bypass the FRP ( if I remember well). I succwded after 6 hours using a bluetooth handfree, launching s-voice, launching a program who disabled the FRP.
What is very frustrating is that in my google acount S7edge was there as my device, but there was no option to skip login to google in the initial setup.

Look for FRP bypass. I was in the same situation. I don't know any method for Nougat
