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

I am getting the same message on my new studio Mac. I have several apple machines including a watch and iPad and none have been stolen. This message only appears on my studio Mac and it says some one from this location sent a password rear request. This is happening multiple times a day. It’s frustrating and concerning

FWIW: I changed my Apple ID and email, and the reset messages stopped. YMMV, and it is a pain to change if you have multiple devices/HomePods/etc. You can lose photos/notes/Apple membership (music, tv, fitness) info if you’re not careful, even if it’s technically the same account. On your Mac you can lose desktop/download/profile info (I was able to find the old folder and copy them back). HomePods had to be completely reset. However, it did stop the notifications at sign in, which makes me think it could be a hacker group (still not sure why it only showed up on laptop).

I don't know why, exactly, mine stopped, but it has. Of its own accord. The alerts for me lasted about 4 days, and are now gone. I didn't do anything. Just wanted to offer some hope to those here that there is evidence that they will just stop after a while. I hope it's the case for all here.

I'm getting it too. I couple days ago I woke up to find my mac was hard rebooted the night before (i knew because all my open apps were trying to restore open files, etc). And then the password reset requests started popping up. I'm not sure if an apple update was pushed or what. But if so it could be a bug in the update.

It's F**cking ridiculous (but not a big surprise) that no one from apple support is giving any help or recommendations. The issue is being reported everywhere, reddit, etc.

I'm on a Mac mini (M1, 2020)

I have an iPhone 12 and frequently get texts advising me on how to reset my apple password. None of my devices are lost or stolen. I reset my password once but continue to occasionally get the request to reset. There is no location attached to my notifications.

I have assumed that someone is trying to get into my Apple ID but because I have two factor authorization I get the request to my phone number and they don’t. No unauthorized charges have shown up so whoever is trying to access my account seems to be failing. I now delete the reset requests and ignore them otherwise I would be changing my password 5 times a day!

So I don’t think it’s a Mac issue I think it’s a security breach issue

The same thing happened to me yesterday after changing my Apple ID password on my MacBook Pro and then changing it on my iPhone and iPads. Very annoying. It appears every time I wake my MacBook Pro from the login screen, but the show location just brings up System Preferences with iCloud highlighted.

I have had this pop up appear ONLY on my Macbook Air... Nothing on my phone or other apple devices... When there is a reset request etc, it goes to EVERY device.

The notification took me to system updates in my preferences... I'm hoping when the big sur update is installed, this stops. I dunno whether it's phishing attempt or not cause it's not popped up on anything else, like usual, or even in my emails?

Did it eventually stop?

I have never had my device stolen. However, since I have an email address that literally hundreds of people think is theirs (gauging from the email I mistakenly get) I often have my Apple ID account locked because some idiot tries to log in with my email address every so often. I don't use my Apple ID account often, so I take it in stride and dutifully do all the steps to unlock. However this time after I unlocked it, I get the notifications that the OP talks about. Sounds like an Apple account bug to me. It's like the logic bit that says, "oh no, account trouble, better prompt for a password reset" never gets turned off after an account lock and unlock sequence.

Now it started happening to me as well. It was weird bc I needed a whole pw reset for my Mac yesterday and after also changing my Apple ID password this popup startet showing up after logging in.

Still in hope it'll go away and or apple fixes this.

I keep getting the same message - I have an iPhone and two Macbooks. I recently lost my Airpods, and after not finding them within a week, I put them in "lost mode". The messages started when I found the Airpods, and took them out of lost mode. The first time I received it, I changed my password. Now it's just annoying because it happens almost everyday!!

I guess add me to the list of people having this issue. To boot, when I try to do 2fa, I get a popup asking if I'm OK with a device at some location logging in, and the location is not where I am. I tried it twice and it's definitely caused by me trying to authenticate, but hte location is incorrect. Then I found another apple support page saying that the location can be your network location not physical so if it's you, go ahead and hit allow? The location it's showing is 500 miles away. This is an absolute mess.

Can anyone else jump in on this? I received the same prompt on my MacBook Pro and it keep coming up.

Beginning today, I too have been receiving this same message on my MacBook Pro. I have not had any devices stolen or lost, nor requested a password reset.

Perhaps an Apple services related issue?

I got the same notice starting today and I changed my password to be on the safe side but my MacBook keeps getting this popup

This just happened to me as well. I clicked it wasn't me that I didn't request the change and it still prompted me to change my password. So, I did. Definitely concerned.
