I have changed my password twice today as Apple sent me a message to say that someone is using my Apple I.D near Oxford.( I live in Surrey) I have changed it twice but the same message keeps coming up ??? Why????

Apple have sent me an alert to say my ID is being used about 50 miles away.

I changed my password but I still get this message.

I’ve changed my password twice now.... Why does the message keep coming back?????

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

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.
