How to Sign Out of Google on Xiaomi: All Ways for MIUI 14 and 15

Signing out of a Google account on Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO smartphones can be required in a variety of situations: before selling a device, when changing your profile, or if you just want to switch to another account. However, the standard process is not always obvious — especially if it is MIUI 14/15, where the settings interface is regularly updated, in some cases, users encounter errors such as “you can not delete the account without a password” or “confirmation of the owner is required”, which complicates the task.

In this article, we will discuss all the current ways to exit a Google account on Xiaomi, including:

📱 Standard exit via settings (for unlocked phones)
🔑 Bypassing the protection if you forget the password from the account
🔄 Reset via Fastboot (for advanced users)
⚠️ Risks and consequences of incorrect account deletion

We will pay special attention to the nuances for different versions of MIUI and models - from the budget Redmi Note 12 to the flagship Xiaomi 14 Ultra. If your phone is locked after reset (the so-called FRP-lock), there is a solution here too.

1. Standard exit from Google account on Xiaomi

The easiest way is to use the built-in MIUI settings. It is suitable if:

🔓 The phone is unlocked (you know the pattern lock)/PIN-code)
📧 You have access to a password from a Google account
📱 The device is running on MIUI 12 and newer

The instructions are relevant for Xiaomi 13T, Redmi Note 13 Pro+, POCO F5 and other modern smartphones of the brand.

Open the Settings app (the gear icon on the home screen).
Scroll down and select Google (or Accounts and Sync → Google on older versions).
Tap your account (usually an email is displayed).
In the upper right corner, press three dots. ⋮ and select Delete Account.
Confirm the action by entering a password from Google (if necessary).

After that, all account data (contacts, mail, backups) will be deleted from the device, but will remain in the Google cloud. If you plan to sell the phone, we recommend you also perform a factory reset (more on this below).

2.How to log out of Google if you forget your password

This is complicated if you don't remember the password from your Google account, but the phone is unlocked, and in this case, MIUI won't let you delete the profile, because it will require proof of ownership.

Method 1: Recovering passwords through another device

💻 Go to accounts.google.com from a computer or other phone.
🔍 Click on “Forgot your password?” and follow the instructions (requires access to a backup email or phone).
📱 After changing your password, go back to Xiaomi’s settings and repeat the standard output (Section 1).

Method 2: Delete your account through resetting (with loss of data)

If you can't recover your password, you have to use a radical method called hard reset, which will delete all your phone data, including your Google account, but you'll need to get around it once you reboot it. FRP-Lockdown (dump protection) more about this in section 4.

⚠️ Attention: Resetting your settings on Xiaomi with a linked Google account will result in your phone being locked after the reboot. Without the username/password, it will be difficult to unlock it!

Only if I forget.

Never change.

3. log out of Google account on blocked Xiaomi (FRP-circumvention)

If you reset your phone through Recovery or buy a used Xiaomi account with someone else tied in, you'll see a Google Factory Reset Protection request after you turn on. There are a number of ways to get around this protection, but they all require caution.

Method 1: Wi-Fi settings (for MIUI 12-14)

On the Google account entry screen, tap the “Wi-Fi” field.
Enter any password from the network (even the wrong one) and hold the text field until the clipboard menu appears.
Select “Search” (magnifying glass icon) and enter Settings.
Go to Settings → About Phone → MIUI version and tap 7 times to activate the developer mode.
Go back to the basic settings, open for developers and enable USB debugging.
Connect your phone to your PC and use the Mi Account Unlock Tool (requires ADB drivers).

Method 2: Using PC and Mi Flash Unlock

This method is suitable for Xiaomi models on Qualcomm processors (for example, Redmi Note 11 Pro, POCO X4 Pro).

🖥️ Windows computer 10/11
🔌 Cable USB (original)
📥 Mi Unlock Tool Program (official)

The process involves unlocking the bootloader, which will reset all data, but will allow you to delete the Google account without a password. FAQ.

⚠️ Attention: Use of informal circumvention tools FRP This may violate Google’s policies and result in account blocking, the official way is to restore access through accounts.google.com.

4. Delete Google account via Fastboot (for advanced)

If standard methods do not work and the phone is unlocked, you can try to delete the account through Fastboot mode. This method requires ADB skills and is suitable for models on Qualcomm Snapdragon (for example, Xiaomi 12T, POCO F4 GT).

Step-by-step:

Install Platform Tools (ADB & Fastboot) on PC.
Turn off your phone and press the Power button + Volume down to log into the Fastboot.
Connect the device to the PC and enter in the command line: fastboot devices (should display the serial number of the phone).
Run the command to remove FRP: fastboot erase frp
Reboot the phone: fastboot reboot

Once rebooted, the phone won’t require Google to enter data, but all settings will reset, a method that doesn’t work on devices with MediaTek chips (like Redmi 10C) — they’ll require specialized software like the SP Flash Tool.

What is FRP-blocking?

FRP (Factory Reset Protection) is an Android protection feature that activates after resetting settings if a Google account was attached to the phone. It prevents the device from being used after being stolen or unauthorised reset. On Xiaomi, FRP works even when you delete your account through settings if the phone has been previously blocked.
