4-5 times a month for the last couple years my Apple ID gets locked.

My understanding is it locks when someone fails to login too many times in a row. This isn't me. How can I find out info on who is trying to login to my account? Even if it's just an IP address it would be a start.

Keep getting locked out of Apple ID 2-3 times a week for the last month or so, I get notifications that my Apple ID has been locked, and I have to re-login everywhere, which isn't a whole lot of fun. Figuring that someone was trying to hack me, I changed my password after the second time this happened. But it's continued since then. Any idea what could be causing this, or what I can do to make it stop?

Apple ID locked for no reason Hi ~ My Mac has told me twice now that I've been signed out of iCloud and that my Apple ID has been locked. That seems suspicious to me, and there doesn't seem to be any way to see what activity caused that. My guess is multiple incorrect login attempts, except I am not the one who is doing that. What could cause my Apple ID to keep getting locked? What can I do? Ryan

Immediately secure your iCloud by changing the password. If anyone tries to login with your credentials then you’ll definitely receive a notification about that attempted login with device and location details. Can you confirm if you’re receiving those notifications?
