Why does it show my apple ID is being used in a different city and state when i get verification codes?

Has anyone had an issue with location of your device when getting verification codes? It always somewhere different but I can only access if I say yes its me and I am the one waiting on a code. It's not that someone else it trying to get a code. Also I can't get payments to go through with PayPal any longer. I was signed up for a family plan and out of no where my music disappeared. What do I do? I've already changed my password.

Regarding the two-factor location, see the following from Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support

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.
