Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Someone tried to login to my Apple ID in another country

I am at home in the UK at the moment. I just got an alert telling me that someone near Casablanca (Morocco) tried to sign into my account. I (obviously) clicked "Don't Trust" and proceeded to change my password. Is this sufficient to make sure this wont work, or is there anything else i can do to secure my account?

You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.
