My iPhone 12 mini asking me to 'reset password using this device'i pressed accept but didn't change my password or anything

I was chilling before the notification hit. I panicked and pressed accept, but I logged oit before I could change my password. I then googled it and read that it could potentially a scam/phishing(!!!!!!)? I can't remember if I used my passcode though so there's that. What can I do to secure my account and prevent such notification, and am I out of the red? My phone is updating to iOS 18.2.1 as as I type this. And no there haven't been suspicious emails or phone calls, but I automatically reject most unknown number calls anyway.
