Unknown connected devices

Wondering if there could be unknown connected devices to your Apple ID account. Dumb question but why does it happen and how do I get rid of those unknown connections.

Thank you

The devices are connected to your account because someone knows your AppleID and password.


Check your device list to see if there is a device signed in that you don't recognize. You can remove the device using the steps in the article below. As a precaution, change your password.
