I may have had my identity stolen so Im currently going through the process of freezing my credit with each credit bureau. Ive frozen twitch two of the three companies with no problem but have tried repeatedly to create and account with Equifax to freeze my credit but repeatedly hit a wall between the create account and verify steps saying We are temporarily unable to connect to our services. Please try again later. I realized this was due to my password not meeting the requirements but rather than telling me that, it just doesnt work and I have to start all over again, not knowing my password was the problem the whole time. 
I looked this up to see if it was just a me issue but this looks to be a frequent recurring issue on their website, I found one complaint going back 5 years.
