Apple id

I am getting a message in settings saying I need to sign in my Apple ID to use certain things. So I do and then it pops up saying someone is signing in with my Apple ID in Wichita, Kansas. So I hit don’t allow and it then says I should change my password. I have to change it 2 to 3 times before it stops telling me this. Then a couple days later or sometimes a lot longer it will want say in settings to sign in again to use certain features. I live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Is my server in Wichita, Kansas or what? This is happening on both my phone and iPad.

You should "Allow." 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.
