Kept receiving "A password reset request was sent from a device at the location shown below'

Add me to the list that keeps getting this notification. Been going on for a week now and I have changed my password. The notice comes back within a few minutes of removing the previous notification. HELP please.

I've been getting the same message the past two days (since 7/12/22) every time I log into my MacBook Pro. Given that so many others are experiencing the same thing, I'm hoping it is a glitch and not a hacker. Looking forward to finding out what the problem is, or at least how to fix it.

I started getting this tonight (July 12) and even called apple support. It won't show where the person is trying to access my account from, it just automatically pops up with a change your password message. I've changed it, but I've gotten around 5 more attempts well into the night/early morning here. It's unnerving and though I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem, I'd like to know more about how this has just started happening in the past 24 hours to people. I'm sure there have to be more.

So, I think you said something interesting @marshallpa -- "every time I log into my MacBook Pro." I'm getting this prompt every time I log into my Mini, but it is not showing up on my phone or my watch. This suggests to me that this is a MacOS bug, and not an actual phishing attempt to get credentials. Hopefully someone at Apple reviews these forums and they can implement a solution.

(unlike others, I do not get this continually -- only on logging in)

Still happening to me for the past 2 months. Every time I log in to my MacBook Pro 14, I get the notification that a password reset has been requested from a location, but when I click "show," it does not show the location. So irritating. I've changed my password, I haven't lost any devices, and this only happens on my Mac, not my iPhone or iPad.

I’ve been getting this message since 7/9/22. I reset my iCloud password on 7/11. The issue seemed to go away until 7/14. I’ve had all devices in my possession.

interested in apple’s position on this issue since it’s impacting multiple customers.

Ive been getting this for a couple weeks now on my iMac... same here, nothing stolen. My AID is a gmail address - really hate to change my id if not needed.

Seems weird no official Apple response to this - clearly a security issue.

DEH

Can you find the location using Find My or by going to iCloud.com/Find My Phone using a browser?

Find My Phone - Lock and track your device using Lost Mode.  * 

See if anything here helps

Find My - locate offline device   

Find My - locate offline device (2)

Find My - locate offline device (3)

Find My - locate offline device (4)

Just to add myself to those who were concerned, only to discover that this should be a bug, since it happens only on the mac book pro. Not on ios anyway.

Weird that noone from apple knows this.

I didn't lose an iPhone or any device, but I started getting this notification on my Apple Watch and via SMS and via my apple computer(s). Sounds like there is a security issue?

"A password reset request was sent from a device at the location shown below' - but can't view the location.

Did you change your login email or just your password? It's like some hackers have a data dump of emails of apple accounts. They won't be able to get into your system, but I imagine if you change your apple ID, rather than your password, these will stop, as it's your apple ID that they got from the data dump. Not matter what you change your password to, they'll still keep pinging the same apple ID.

Let me know if I'm wrong about this, and you did change your apple ID. then it seems something more sinister, like they have access somehow to realtime logs of apple IDs.

For the record I'm receiving this as well, but am not worried as yet. Like the OP though – I'd love it if there was a way to find out what the "location shown below" is, to see where the request is coming from. Anyone have any luck on figuring that out?

It’s not, I reckon, the changing of the password that would make a difference, but the changing of the Apple ID. If your Apple ID is linked to an email that is in a database that has been leaked, regardless of what your password is they still have your ID to send these requests out.

I just ignore these notifications, but I’d be curious to know if anyone is still getting them after changing their Apple ID/email.

Same thing happening here since yesterday. The only thing I did was install a new AppleTV with my Apple ID, then I started getting those notifications afterwards. They are coming into my MacBook Pro quite frequently now.

Sounds to me to be more of an Apple-related glitch than anything else - there are many of us getting the same.

More info: I use a non .icloud/.me/.Mac email account as the Apple ID (a gmail account). I'm posting this in case there is a commonality in the type of ID used (Apple vs Non-Apple or Gmail-related).

Same Issue. has anyone reached out to Apple Support? Is everyone using the latest version of Mac OS or on an older one? It's weird I'm getting this on my MacBook, but not other devices (iPhone, etc). Wondering if others experiencing the same.
