Notice of Correction Password - Halifax

Good evening! 
I submitted a mortgage application with Halifax via a mortgage advisor on Monday. Valuation was completed today. The broker was contacted by Halifax to ask about a lock/password on my credit file (I was a victim of ID Fraud last year - very stressful!). It can take up to 28 days to get this removed but I have provided the password to the broker to pass onto Halifax. Will this affect my application and is there anything I can do to support this? its got me feeling v anxious! 

Thanks!

     It shouldn't affect your application, a password is a preventative measure that imo shows your are savvy to fraud and know how to protect yourself from it.
