2-step verification So, I have the 2-step verification turned on for my Apple ID which goes to my iPhone and iPad. Every time I do this, it claims I'm in Boston which is incorrect because I live in Colorado. I even went ahead and changed my password to be on the safe side. After this, it is still popping up as me being in Boston when I went to log back into everything after changing the password. What is the point of having this when it can't even get my location even remotely correct when it is me?! But also, how do get this fixed?

I need to get to get into my account to check if there was a purchase made to my acct. I don't see it on my phone that I did the purchase.

If this is an e-mail you received, or a popup on the screen, about the time you were actually logging in, there is probably nothing to worry about. The location in the e-mail is where your ISP reported it. If their servers are in a location distant from you, there will be a large error.

If that isn't the case, the e-mail may be a scam, especially if there is a link for you to click. If your question isn't answered, please provide more information.
