I keep getting reset password emails i havent tried to reset and my email is not something that someone would accidently mistype

Thank you both for your quick answers. One problem: Just before I chimed in here last night, I reset my

apple password easily by answering my 2 security questions. After I wrote here last night, I tried to Manage

My Account to be sure I was enabling two-factor authentication. The site no longer likes my answers to the

security questions, which were fine 2 hours earlier. I checked in again this morning and the same thing happened.

What's blocking my security questions?

So this is what I've done. I've changed my apple id email address to a completely different one. Apple Care walked me through this. The agent did not recommend that I set up a rescue email address so I have none before or now. We were both puzzled that no message allowing me to enable two-factor authentication showed up where it was supposed to be. Thomas, do you know where I'd find it? It's not on the password and security page.

One thought: Do I need to create a rescue email address to get this two-factor authentication button to show up?

Thanks for your help and I hope that this changed email address will stop the hacking into my apple id password. And I'd really like to ensure this by doing the two-factor authentication.

Thomas, do you know where I'd find it? It's not on the password and security page.

That's exactly where it should be. If it's not there, you need to talk to Apple. Sounds like there's something seriously wrong with your Apple ID.

I have had the same problem. Applyimg some logic after reading all these posts and adding it to my experiences, I would say the following:

the problem relates to logging into your apple id from a device that is either above the limit of what you're allowed in number, or is no longer registered on your list of devices, or somehow is shared with another apple id.

In my case, it seems to happen after I use my old ipad (which I have now given to my 10 year old) and update apps (this iPAD still has my ID associated with it - I may have removed it from my list of devices or maybe it's because my son has his imessage account running on it which uses his apple ID.

I'm confident it has nothing to do with anyone hacking my account.

You probably have an iPad or iPhone that was locked to your apple ID and sold, lost, donated, etc. Someone may try to use it and they can't because it's locked. Go to your iCloud account and remove any devices that you are no longer using. That may make the emails stop.

P.S. Don't forget to erase the device first via iCloud.

I'm having the same problem now I'm getting to point where it's asking me to reset my password or unlock it daily basis maybe twice a day and it's not working the phone it was brand-new I bought it I've owned it ever since no one has ever used it my email is been generated's is the day one I have created my with my phone

Sounds like a pfishing expedition to me. Don't click on them, just ignore them for the moment. Have you tried to Google the email address you are asked to contact. If you can, post it here.

I think this is a problem on Apple's end. I, too keep getting these emails, each time after downloading something on my Ipad. Anyone know how to contact Apple regarding this?

Starting at 3:47am this moring, I'm now getting these at a rate of one every two hours or so.

Hmmmm...

Just to be on the safe side, I changed my password. But I did it through my ipad apple Id page rather than the email.

I'm getting them too, but they are coming to an email address that is NOT my Apple ID email, which makes things even stranger.

Did you set that email address up as your rescue email address?

Good question, I'll have to check that out, thanks!

i have changed my password 8x in the past 2 months. I keep resetting my password and then a few days later, apple tells me that my password is incorrect. This is getting extremely irritating.
