I purchased a new iPhone, wiped my old phone and returned it for a trade in. I just got an email 'Activation Lock is requesting your password' for the phone I traded in. Is this legit? Clearly not going to provide my password.
Did you complete the steps in the article below before returning the old phone?
Looks like I did everything except remove that device from 'Find My' app. The device doesn't appear on my Apple Account, only my new phone. I'm hoping all is good and the only thing I should do is remove it from my list of devices on my new iPhone.
If you no longer have access to your iPhone, you can remove a device from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com. --> https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/remove-a-device-mmfc0eeddd/icloud --> "You can use Find My iPhone on iCloud.com to temporarily remove a device from the Devices list or turn off Activation Lock on a device you have already given away or sold."
Received an email 'Activation Lock is requesting your password' for the phone I traded in.
