Someone that is not me is trying to log into my Apple ID

I got a message on my phone that someone was trying to log into my Apple ID. I immediately changed my password. 24 hours later, I got the message again. I do have two-factor authentication turned on.


What should I do now to protect my account?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 15

Someone may be trying to sign your Apple ID, which would generate the request for a verification code. Since you have 2 Factor Authentication enabled, as long as they can't access one of your trusted devices, they can't get a code, and sign in. You should be okay.


If the attempts continue, you can change your Apple ID. Note the restrictions in the article.

Make sure you turn off Find My Phone before signing out of the old ID. Once signed out and Find My Phone is off, then sign in with the new ID, then turn Find My Phone back on.
