Enable "Install via USB" without creating MI Account I am trying to create some apps on my xiaomi smartphone (MIUI 8), but when I try to run an app, the error INSTALLATION_CANCELED_BY_USER appears. I found that the problem is that I must enable the "Install via USB" option from developer settings. When I try to do so, I get a screen that says I have to login/signup with an MI account in order to enable this option, which is something I am not willing to do. So, I have 3 questions:


Why did they make it neccessary to provide an account for enabling an option like this?
Is there any way I can bypass the MI login screen and enable the option? 
The reason I don't want to connect my phone to an MI account is that I am concerned about personal data being uploaded. Is it a logical concern?
What I didn't want was to continue having an MI account connected to my device. So I just created a temporary account, enabled the "Install via USB" option and then logged out from the MI account. So, now I hope the option stays enabled :)
