With all the Equifax discussion, I realized that the main thing I'm concerned about is someone wiping out my retirement accounts. I have three main accounts (Fidelity, ING and Schwab). Is there any way that I can freeze those accounts? I really wouldn't care how difficult I make it on myself (like having to present my ID at a branch) to ensure that someone doesn't transfer out the entire balance or even a significant portion of it. Is there a gold standard to force brokerage companies or banks to validate and be responsible to ensure it is me requesting a significant transaction with those accounts?
