Transferring data form old iPhone to new one apple ask me for passwords from Apples IDs I don't really know about

Hey!

I'm just transferring data from my old phone to my new one and in the process the new phone ask me for the password from my Apple ID, something I expected. But then it started to ask for passwords from ID I don't really know about telling me that I have purchases from those IDs.

I'm totally puzzle 🧩 because I don't know those ID, I haven't lost my phone or anything and in my list of purchases there is nothing I haven't bought with my own ID. Is this just a security failure from Apple or what the **** is going on?

I'm aware that I'm not the only one that something like this have happened:

If you are the owner then to open Activation Lock:- If it is Activation locked, read here --> Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

If you are not the owner then there is no way that you can get into this iPhone unless the original owner shares the Apple ID and password with you. If you are lucky you can get into this iPhone if they (owner) accidentally remove the device from their apple ID.

Why there is in this community lately a bunch of people just providing non sequitur answers to some questions? It's really annoying.
