See the following from Two-factor authentication for Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915
When you sign in on a new device, you’ll get a notification on your other trusted devices that includes a map showing the approximate location of the new device. This is an approximate location based on the IP address the device is currently using, rather than the exact location of the device. The location shown might reflect the network you're connected to, and not your physical location.
If you know you’re the person trying to sign in but you don’t recognize the location shown, you can still tap Allow and continue signing in. However, if you ever see a notification that your Apple ID is being used to sign in on a new device and you're not the one signing in, tap Don’t Allow to block the sign in attempt.
In connection with the material from Two-factor authentication for Apple ID:
Check your Apple ID device list (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205064) and remove any device that shouldn't be signed in using the steps in the link.
If there are none that shouldn’t be signed in, then you should not have a problem at this point. But add two-factor authentication (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205075) if you aren’t already using it.
If an unauthorized device signed in Change your Apple ID password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201355

Thanks but all i want to know that is someone who wants to enter in me new id or is that something else. Couse it is weird that someone can find an id who is opened just 20 min ago and try to enter in it
If this is an e-mail you received, or a popup on the screen, about the time you were actually logging in, there is probably nothing to worry about. The location in the e-mail is where your ISP reported it. If their servers are in a location distant from you, there will be a large error. Based on other posts I have read, the distant error can be very large.
You are very welcome. Be safe.
