It means when you get notified someones trying to use your account they say please unlock your account. Its a safety feature. So if someone tries to access your account without (if they type in your id or password which they dont know of) then apple will notify u and say hey your account is locked please unlock it. After many attempts of the hacker typing in your password which they dont know then apple locks your account. SO u have to unlock it yourself. But this person is saying it keeps happening. They unlock it then it gets locked again.

If someone tries to log into your account from anything other than a trusted device, you will be notified. You will received the 2FA code that needs to be entered directly on the device that the person is trying to log in on. Without that code, they can't log into the account.
