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?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 17

Following - happened to me too. Weird thing for me was that it was my EX'S email that popped up... but not the email he used to have in our previous "Family" account on Apple Music. So it was not an email that has ever been associated with or logged in to on my phone. EVER. He was/is abusive, so I'm concerned he might've been trying to hack into my phone.
