Locking Apple ID to in country

I have been receiving multiple 2 step verification alerts daily for the past week. Is there a way for me to block any attempt at hacking my account from another country? Since I don’t travel I figure this would be a great way to help limit hack attempts.

If you’re receiving the 2FA popup, that means that somebody / somewhere KNOWS your AppleID password.


Recommend that you login to https//appleid.apple.com/ and change your password soonest.


While there:


Verify that all of your Trusted Numbers are indeed “trustworthy”; delete any which are not.


Lastly, review all of your devices on your account and delete any which you don’t recognize.
