I randomly had a new Apple Watch and iPhone connect to my Apple ID. I removed the account and changed my password. Is there anything else i need to do? I panicked and just removed the accounts, before i could even think to screenshot the serial numbers
iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 13
Then a new device shouldn't be able to connect to the account.
How did you get notified that new devices connected with your AppleID:
They were both added today. I got a notification on my watch saying a new watch paired to my Apple ID and if i didn’t do it, to go to my account and remove it. I checked my watch serial number so i was able to tell which one wasn’t mine. And I’ve never had an iPhone 6, and it was at the top of the devices so it would have been the newest one added. So it’s just weird! But i was able to remove everything and change my passcodes/passwords to everything. Hoping that’s the end of it.
I think the fact that the iPhone 6 was at the top of the device list doesn't mean that it's the newest added. I have 3 devices associated with my Apple ID. When I check in Settings > Apple ID, the top item in the list is always the current device that I'm viewing the list from, then the rest is either in alphabetical or oldest-first order (both are true in my case), and never newest-first. On https://www.icloud.com/settings/ they appear alphabetically or old-to-new, not new-to-old.
Yes i do
I got a notification on my watch saying a new Apple Watch paired with my Apple ID, i went to look and there was a new Apple Watch series 4 and iPhone 6 that were connected.
If you removed them and changed your password, that should be enough. You might consider adding 2 Factor Authentication to your account as suggested by SilkySteel.
I’ve had 2 factor authentication ever since i got this phone in November. 🤷🏼♀️
That's odd. Maybe the other phone was added even before two-factor was enabled, and now a new watch was added to that phone, which tipped you off? 🕵️♂️
Was i hacked?
