I've receive 4 text messages with an Apple Id Code - late in the evening. I've not been trying to sign into my Apple Account. Someone is trying to get into it. How do I find this information?

I'm trying to keep a stalker out of my stuff.

Created a new apple Id and have a new phone (using 2 factor authentication)


In the past 3-4 weeks I've received 4 texts giving me my Apple ID Code when I'm not attempting to sign in to anything.


How do I find out why I'm receiving this text and who is trying to sign in to my email to have this text prompted?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15

There isn't a way to find out who is trying to sign into your Apple ID. Since you have 2 Factor Authentication enabled, unless they can access one of your trusted devices, they won't be able to sign in.

They could be fake and somebody is phishing for information.


They could be real and is just something you weren't expecting. Sometimes it seems Apple's systems seem to think you are doing something new when you aren't, it's just the system resetting itself.


There's a possibility it is real.
