I keep on getting random “AppleID and phone number now being used for iMessage on a new Mac” prompts on my iPad. I’m running latest macOS on Mac and have firewall enabled and remote mgt disabled. How can I tell if my AppleID has been compromised or whether there is a bug? A check of my Apple ID account does not show any additional devices beyond my own collection.
thanks
Mac mini 2018 or later
Since you already checked your account and didn't find anything, as a precaution, change your password.
Apple ID device list -Check to see where you‘re signed in.
What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.

Thanks. Would prefer to know why 2FA wouldn’t prevent any such breech or, again, whether this is a code bug somewhere.

You are welcome. I get notices like that occasionally.
FYI - Changed AppleID password. There is room for OS improvement as process was buggy. Old known password served its purpose hence I do not believe it was changed.
