I just tried to freeze my credit on Equifax. At the end of the process I received a “one time pdf” with a pin to unfreeze. The pdf was garbled and illegible but there was a number to call if you couldn’t view it. I called the number and was told their system is down and to call back later. This feels more painful than getting my identity stolen.

Did you save the PDF? The PDF wasnt too hard to read for me. I saved it to my Drive account just in case and wrote down the PIN #.
No, I was on an iPhone and didn’t have the ability to that I know of.
