how does apple send request to update password for apple id?
What is name that Apple uses to request you change a password? I received an email that does not seem legit
It probably isn't legit.
Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/HT201679 - lacking in specifics, the next link is better:
Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - https://support.apple.com/HT204759
Forward attempts as an attachment to: reportphishing@apple.com
- Apple e-mails address you by your real name, not something like "Dear Customer" , "Dear Client" or an e-mail address.
- Apple e-mails originate from @apple.com or @itunes.com but I think it is possible to spoof a sender address
- Mouse over links to see if they direct to real Apple web sites. Do not click on them as this just tells the spammer they have a working e-mail address in their database.
- Phishing emails may include account suspension or similar threats in order to panic you into clicking on a link without thinking. They may report a fake purchase in order to infuriate you into rashly clicking on a false link to report a problem.

If one actually gets disabled, its owner will be told when they try logging into it instead of through email."
- Apple will not ask for personal information in an e-mail and never for your social security number anywhere.
