If that’s really a phishing message, that’s a quite good effort...


Is this iPhone possibly a managed device? Schools and businesses can use a device manager package. If this iPhone is managed, it’ll usually have one or more profiles installed. Settings > General > Profiles will show those, if they exist here. If so, check with the IT folks managing your device, and confirm this prompt with them.


Do you use Exchange Server for your organization or school or business mail?


I’d probably change the passcode, but would use Settings to do it.
