I keep getting prompted about Dearborn, MI

I am trying to figure out the two step security thing, so this may be related...


Every time I type in my Apple ID and my password I'm immediately prompted about someone trying to sign in on one of my devices 'near Dearborn, MI' -- I'm in Kansas City, 900 miles away. It asks, "Allow?", I say NO and I'm sent a verification code which I never receive, so I tell it so -- and ask to have it sent in a text. That does in fact happen, and the code is accepted. Four times in a row I do all this.


What is going on?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

I'm having exactly the same issue. I'm in KC and I have Google Fiber. MacOS seems confused about my location and I am often alerted that a device is trying to login to my iCloud account near Dearborn. Also, websites that use my location data think I'm in Dearborn MI. Google maps always get my location right. Strangely, the Apple Maps app on desktop gets my location right too. But when I logged in to Apple Support Communities just now to write this reply, for instance, it alerted me about a login near Dearborn. The first time I noticed this was when I connected an Amazon Echo Dot and it had my location wrong. I have no idea what's going on...
