My Apple ID account thinks I have two computers but I don

My mac has started asking me to update my apple ID password. I have the apple ID password, but I don't have passwords for every device I've ever owned anymore. What's worse, it is asking me for passwords to two different macbook airs but I've only ever owned one (my current laptop) and whatever this ghost macbook air is, it does not have the same password as my current one. As a result I can't successfully update my apple ID. Any suggestions?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6

I was already checking this and deleted several old computers. The trouble was that, in the process of updating my apple ID, the dialogue boxes were asking me for the password to my macbook air "not this macbook air" and there was no other macbook air on the list. I thought it was weird. At any rate, it seems to have now stopped doing that, so I guess all is well?
