What's required to freeze/unfreeze your credit? Your SSN and address info? All of that is in the breach for millions of people.

Just like a lock on the door, it raises the barrier to a non trivial level. It does not give you a ft Knox level impenetrable fortress.

I recently froze my credit with the big 3 and it was easier than I pictured. I don't know if they slow you down if you try to unfreeze it immediately after clicking "forgot password".
