You'll be able to lock the screen of your phone with just your phone number and a quick security challenge using any device. This buys you time to recover your account details and access additional helpful options in Find My Device, including sending a full factory reset command to completely wipe the device.
Does this mean I can troll my friends by locking their phone while they're using their phone?

Not if it’s implemented correctly. How inconvenient is for your friend just unlock the phone as they normally would? All you have to do is rate limit to something like once a week where it’s effectively useless for harassment.

It would be very inconvenient if you time it well, e.g. when they're playing games beside you and you see them about to land a decisive blow.

It seems it'll ask some form of password
