Strange Apple ID verification request Today I've got very strange Apple ID verification request by entering password on my iPhone. Email address in the verification request removed long time ago and it's not assigned to my Apple ID. It looks like I'm not the first user that claims the same issue today. Is this a hacking attempt?

Apple ID verification asks for password for an unknown account I randomly got a prompt on my iPhone from Apple ID verification asking to enter in settings the password of an unknown email address. I do not know who it belongs to and I have never used another Apple ID account on any of my devices apart from mine. I have two-factor authentication on and changed my Apple ID password just in case. Is someone trying to hack me?

On what device is this happening? On iPhone? Did you not reset when using it with a new Apple ID account? Then there may be remnants of usage of the old account, e.g. apps that were installed using the old account, that have updates available now.
