I'm trying to find out what to do if I get a notification from Apple that someone is signing in using my ID. The notification I got said the person was using an Apple watch. I tried to temporarily deactivate my account and followed each pages instructions
Apple Watch
First of all, are you sure, that this message was legit?
Could be scam and the page you are referred to in the message is a fraud.
Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
Also, here's a link to the Apple Watch Online User Guide:
Did you use any apps on the watch, or the phone, that require a log in with your Apple ID?
If yes, this might have triggered this Two-Factor Identification message.
Thank you for responding. I've had the watch for quite a while, but I really don't think I'd even know how to log into something, and I don't think I ever did. The notification said someone was logging in on an Apple watch and using my Apple ID. My watch (which I don't know how to use – can anyone recommend a book?) was sitting in my charger right next to me. I should confess that I'm 75 (the new 74) and a stroke took some of my brain cells – enough that it's noticeable.)
Should I worry about notifications like that?
Thank you to all who respond to idiots like me especially thanks to Ingo2711.
Be Well Everyone
Someone tried signing in using my ID.
