Confirm iPhone Passcode message

I read the older threads.


This morning my iPhone delivered the notification “Confirm iPhone Passcode. Confirm your iPhone passcode to keep using iCloud. This passcode also protects access to data stored in iCloud.”


At first I thought this might be a new phishing effort, but it also appears in Settings. My phone is an iPhone 12 on iOS 16.2. I installed 16.2 just a few days ago.


Is the fix still a full reset and reinstall (ugh)?

iPhone 12, iOS 16

My concern is that I share my Apple ID between my work iPhone and my personal iPhones.


I don’t think I use iCloud at all but I can’t be 100% sure about my pictures on my personal iPhones.


My question is if I enter the passcode from my work phone (which is different from my personal phones), will it encrypt the contents of my iCloud Storage with this passcode and make my iCloud data inaccessible to my personal phones?
