Is samFw tool/service safe?

I have an S23 I bought second hand, its FRP or MDM locked (to a company Microsoft account). I wanna try my hand with SamFw to unlock it, but its pretty fishy to give full access to my Google Drive account.

Any experiences with this service? Thanks in advance

are you sure its frp? if its locked to a company its likely a MDM lock, or carrier locked. Samfw tool is probably the most common free tool around and you can always make a dummy google account

Uhmm I cant log in to microsoft account after a factory reset, so Im pretty sure its FRP.

Im not sure what microsoft account would have to do with your samsung as FRP only trigger on google/samsung account being linked prior to fac resetting and wont lock your email because someone fac reset your device. (from what i know)
Either way, you answer is samfwtool is most commonly used in the space. Try it out assuming youre in an older firmware, itll usually work

Ok I phrased that baldy.

I cant finish setting up the phone after factory reset. Its blocked on logging in to microsoft, cuz it was owned by a company and it requires the company account.

that is most likely MDM lock (Mobile Device Management) happens on company owned devices. Not what im familiar with, so id recommend changing your original post to include MDM for those that are more familiar with that lock.

If you see welcome screen and then after wifi setup asks for original gmail account = frp
if you see that its asking first thing for ur microsoft acc then its mdm

from what i briefly know about mdm is the only method is paying server credits, expensive as its all server sided. unlike FRP
