Unrequested Verification Code sent on iPhone?

Did anyone else just receive an unrequested verification code on their iPhone? Not sure if my account is being hacked.

iPhone 7, iOS 13

If you did not attempt to log in to another device using your Apple ID and Password then someone attempted to do so. The two factor Authentication notified you with a verification code to be entered in that device. Someone attempted to use your Apple ID.

I recommend that you change the password to your Apple ID ASAP.
