"update apple id settings" - why?
Just recently got this notification to "update apple id settings", which raised the following questions in my mind:
1) What is this about?
2) What is the risk to doing it?
Thanks in advance!

There are many reasons this could be appearing:
- You changed your Apple ID password or made some modifications to the Apple ID credentials.
- Some Apple ID information is incomplete or not updated.
- You changed the device password of the current iPhone or another iPhone, iPad, or Mac linked to your Apple ID.
- You added new fingerprints for Touch ID or a new appearance for Face ID.
- Recently, you updated to a newer version of iOS.
As long as it’s an alert on the phone, not an email, text, Safari pop up, etc you are safe.
