If you have not recently signed in to a MacBook Air 13" with your Apple ID and believe someone may have accessed your account, go to Apple ID (https://appleid.apple.com) and change your password as soon as possible. I changed my Apple ID password 3 times and I even change my email password too. I also check my Apple ID device list to find where I'm signed in and it didn't show any suspicious devices. Can someone help me? Also, questions to support : Why do I keep getting these emails? Is the noreply@email.apple.com legit? Why does Apple send it to my everyday gmail rather than to my iCloud mail? I even turn on the two factor authentication but why is this keep happening?
