Each credit bureau has a slightly different process, which may or may not work. One thing common between them is they will throw a lot of FUD your way trying to convince you
not to freeze it, suggesting you place a "lock" or "hold" or "macarena" instead. If everyone froze their credit files, a major source of their income would dry up, which is even more reason to do it.
I will cynically predict that as a result of so many people freezing, the credit bureaus will change the rules to re-define what actually constitutes a "freeze".
