As we know, Android has a security feature FRP, Factory Reset Protection.
Once FRP is activated, it prevents use of a device after a factory data reset, until we log in using a Google username and password previously set up on the device.
But now, if the internet connection, both mobile data and WLAN, is not available for my device at all for some reason, is it possible for me to use that device again? I think FRP perhaps requires internet connection to verify my google username and password.
Thank you for any ideas in advance.
So you can't start the device?

Is there a way how to set a password or PIN lock for the bootloader or at least the recovery? There's been a lot of break ins in my area lately and when someone steals my phone, I wanna make sure that it will be rendered completely useless (Including IMEI blacklist) and non-recoverable.Is there a way how can be bootloader & recovery locked so a thief can't access the recovery without a password or a PIN lock and thus not able to reset the phone to factory settings?
So far, any anti-theft software I've seen doesn't have this ability and can be easily removed by factory data reset

I believe, but not sure, that TWRP has a PIN code system
You should try Cerberus or avast!, with root they can lock into the system which means the thief has to reflash an FTF file
EDIT
Nope, TWRP doesn't have PIN protection. If you want to secure your phone, some tips:
1. Make sure the on/off menu cannot be opened when the phone is locked.
2. Make sure your data is always on
3. Use CyanogenMod Account / Cerberus / avast! AntiTheft
x. If you phone gets stolen, use one of the above programs to lock and wipe your device.
Is it safe to unlock bootloader or will unlocking bootloader cause google factory reset protection to ask for credentials of the phones previous user?

Yes, unlocking bootloader will wipe your data the same as a factory reset, which will trigger FRP and require the original Google account login info.
Go to system settings>accounts and remove the Google account that is on the device, then you shouldn't have an issue with FRP.

Hi all, I carelessly wipe out all data without log out Mi account first. Now my phone is locked in Chinese language and it needs to verify password online.
I remember my password and can log in from other phone browser with vpn. I don't want to reset my password. What should I do?
TIA
Edit: I got it by connected to operator wifi.

Hi I just followed the instructions but when i got to press the @ sign for three seconds nothing happened. I am trying to do this on my Acer B1-870 tablet - would this make a difference. any help appreciated.
Sorry, we generally don't allow discussion of bypassing these type of locks, as they can be used for nefarious purposes. (unlocking stolen devices etc)
I'm not saying yours is stoeln, but this is something we don't allow discussion of I'm afraid.
Hello. I have a samsung galaxy j3 2016 device in my hand. Google play account forgotten.
I reset it with factory reset. Now the device does not turn on, because of the google account.
How can we open the device with custom rom or original rom?
Reset your Google account password on different phone or device like a computer.
If you also forgot the username for your Google account, go to https://accounts.google.com/signin/usernamerecovery?hl=en. Just like in resetting your Google password, you’ll need to enter the recovery email of your forgotten account.
Once you’ve done any of the two procedures above, try to do FRP unlock again using the new password.
If there’s no way to unlock FRP using the first method, then the best shot for you is to let someone flash the system software in order to bypass Google Account Verification FRP.
