Every App and Website thinks my phone is a new device

I’ve had my 10xs Max since 2018 but lately every time I try to sign in to a website I’ve signed in before I have to do a verification code and I get an email that a new device has logged in. Same thing is happening with most of my apps. It’s so frustrating to have to get a text verification code and go through all the motions like it’s a new device every single time I want to do anything. No VPN nothing like that. Same phone same phone number.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

That is for own safety. This will happen if...

You log in after a long gap
You log in from another location
You log using a VPN (IP Changes)
You log in from another devices
You attempt logging in several times and it fails
Use different Apple IDs for various Apple services.
The app is downloaded again from the App Store
The app has been updated by the app developer
The App developer has made this a mandatory requirement for logging in
Many more ...

None of that matches my issue and it’s causing issues such as my bank card to be frozen as it thinks I have a new device and is making me log in and then so security checks. Game apps are making me log in again every time I click on them, verify and then pick a save to continue. This is not a safety measure as I’ve had this phone since 2018 and it’s only started in the last couple of months.
