Depending on where you see this "other" notification, that

may be an indication of some scam, or phishing. Someone

seeking detailed personal information to launch real attack.


If you've gotten an email or message from unknown, fake

prompts, from a false flag kinda operation; be advised to

report any who Claim to be from Apple, to Apple Support.
