How to exit Google account on Xiaomi smartphone: all working ways

Signing out of a Google account on Xiaomi smartphones (including Redmi, POCO, and Black Shark) can be required in a variety of situations, from selling the device to solving sync problems. However, the standard process is not always obvious — especially if you use MIUI 14/15 with the latest security updates. In this article, we will discuss all the current ways to log out of a Google account on Xiomi in 2026, including cases when your password is lost or your phone is blocked.

It's important to understand that simply deleting an account through settings doesn't always completely untie it from the device, for example, after resetting to factory settings, you may need to re-enter FRP (Factory Reset Protection), a mechanism for protecting against theft, and we'll show you how to avoid such problems and properly remove the binding.

Why you can’t just delete your Google account through your settings

Many users mistakenly believe that it is enough to go to Settings → Accounts → Google and click “Delete”. However, this method does not always work:

• 🔒 FRP-lock – after reset, the device will require you to enter the data of the remote account, even if you “delete” it through the menu.
• 📱 Synchronization MIUI — Some data (such as contacts or notes) may remain linked to your Mi Account, not Google.
• 🔄 Automatic Recovery – When you log in to the same account, settings and apps can be restored automatically.

Moreover, in the latest versions of MIUI 14/15, the path to account management has changed, and now it is hidden deeper, and some options require a password or fingerprint confirmation, and if you plan to sell or transfer a smartphone, it is not enough just to log out of your account, you need to completely untie it from your device.

Method 1: Standard output via MIUI settings

This is the easiest method that works for most situations, if you have access to your phone and you remember your account password. MIUI 12–15:

1. Open the Settings app (cog icon).
2. Go to Accounts and Synchronization (in some firmware, just Accounts).
3. Select Google from the list of connected accounts.
4. Click on the email address you want to untie.
5. In the upper right corner, tap the icon. ⋮ (three dots) and select Delete Account.
6. Confirm the action by entering a password or fingerprint if required.

After that, the account will be deleted from the device, but do not forget:

• 📌 Synced data (contacts, calendar, photos) will remain in the Google cloud unless you delete it separately.
• 🔄 FRP-The lock may still work when resetting if the account was the main one.

Save important data (photos, contacts) elsewhere

Make sure your phone is not tied to your Mi Account (if you plan to reset)

Method 2: Completely delete your account through resetting (without FRP)

If you're planning to sell or transfer a smartphone, just logging out is not enough. You need to reset your settings completely, but in a way that avoids the risk of a smartphone being sold. FRP-This is how to do it right:

1. Before resetting, be sure to delete your Google account through the settings (see Method 1).
2. Go to Settings → About the phone → Reset settings.
3. Select Erase All Data (on some models – Delete All Data and Reset Settings).
4. Enter the screen lock password (PIN, pattern lock or fingerprint).
5. Confirm reset. The phone will reboot and return to factory settings.

⚠️ Note: If you did not delete your Google account before resetting, the device will require the last associated account to be entered after rebooting (FRP-In this case, you will have to use bypass methods (see Method 4).

Method 3: Delete your account through Google’s web interface

If you don't have access to your phone, but you remember your account information, you can untie your device remotely, and this method is useful if your phone is lost or locked:

1. Go to myaccount.google.com from any device.
2. Sign in with the same account that is linked to Xiaomi.
3. In the Security section, find the block of your devices.
4. Choose your Xiaomi smartphone from the list.
5. Click Delete (or exit if you only need to turn off sync).
6. Confirm the action.

This method doesn't remove FRP-It's a lock if it's already activated on your phone, it's just untie the device from your cloud account, and if you plan to use the phone further, you may need to re-enter the data when you next connect to the Internet after you remotely delete it.

💡

If you're selling a phone, it's better not only to delete your account through the web interface, but also to change your password from Google after you hand over the device, which will prevent the new owner from accessing your data.

Method 4: Bypass FRP-blocking (if you forgot the password)

If you reset your phone to factory settings without deleting your Google account, the first time you turn on, you'll see a request to input the last associated account. FRP-There are a number of ways you can get around it, but keep in mind:

What to do if none of the methods work

In some cases, standard methods may not work, such as:

• 🔐 Data from all associated accounts (Google and Mi) is lost).
• 📱 The phone is not turned on or stuck on the logo MIUI.
• 🔧 Firmware damaged after failed update.

In such situations, more radical measures remain:

1. Fastboot firmware: You will need an unlocked bootloader and official firmware for your model. Instructions can be found on the XDA Developers or 4PDA forums.
2. Contact the service center: Official Xiaomi services can remove FRP on the documents confirming ownership of the device.
3. Using specialized tools: Programs like the Mi Flash Tool or SP Flash Tool allow you to flash your phone without locking, but require technical skills.
