Just a curiosity. Theoretically FRP (factory reset protection) can use the current login password as a way of authentication after reset. But everything on the web states that you will need a Google account to take advantage of he feature.

Indeed. Here is the section https://grapheneos.org/faq#anti-theft

TLDR: although it can be implemented to use a local authentication method, but that would easily cause bricking. Plus the limited thief deterrence potential it provides (Probably given the currently limited user base of graphene) hence it is low priority.
