The situation is complicated by the fact that without access to the account, you can not download apps from the Play Market, sync contacts or use services like Gmail and YouTube. Moreover, on some Xiaomi models (especially with MIUI 12+), Google account is tied to the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) function – after resetting the phone will require you to enter a username and password, otherwise the device will turn into a “brick”.
