While logging into my PC I am greeted with a request to log into my iCloud account with my Apple ID and password. The problem is that I am told that the request is coming from a city far removed from the city I live in. Any help appreciated. Is there any way to correct this?
See the following from Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
(and ignore the part about "new" devices -- same thing applies to existing devices)
When you sign in on a new device, you’ll get a notification on your other trusted devices that includes a map showing the approximate location of the new device. This is an approximate location based on the IP address the device is currently using, rather than the exact location of the device. The location shown might reflect the network you're connected to, and not your physical location.
If you know you’re the person trying to sign in but you don’t recognize the location shown, you can still tap Allow and continue signing in.
However, if you ever see a notification that your Apple ID is being used to sign in on a new device and you're not the one signing in, tap Don’t Allow to ensure the sign in attempt is blocked.
Thank you very much FoxFifth! Just being a bit cautious.
You can restart your PC and try that if that does not work you might have to go to a tectition.
Request to log in shows address far away from my own.
