Apple ID codes sent - but NOT REQUESTED
I just received 3 text messages in a row - now 4 - of being sent an Apple ID verification code - but I HAVE NOT REQUESTED IT.
I do have 2 factor identification, but this is a bit of worry

That could indicate someone is trying to sign into your Apple ID. As long as they do not have access to one of your trusted devices, they will not be able to sign in.
If the attempts continue, you can consider a name change.
Note the restrictions in the article.
What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.
Thanks for the advice! It turns out my son had used my phone number when he set up his apple account years ago - before he got his phone. I had a live chat session with apple security who didn't ask me about that so i went ahead and got my password changed as he also advised. No probs, of course; better safe...
You are welcome.
