Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iMessage on a Macbook Air 13"

Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iMessage on a MacBook Pro 13"


I keep getting these emails from noreply@email.apple.com and I'm not sure that email is even legit. The message contains something like this :


Dear xxx(blank), Your Apple ID (xxx@gmail.com) was used to sign in to iMessage on a MacBook Air 13" named “cckakaokdnkdk ”

Date and Time: May 17, 2019, 14.19 UTC.

If the information above looks familiar, you can ignore this message. If you have not recently signed in to a MacBook Air 13" with your Apple ID and believe someone may have accessed your account, go to Apple ID (https://appleid.apple.com) and change your password as soon as possible.


I changed my Apple ID password 3 times and I even change my email password too. I also check my Apple ID device list to find where I'm signed in and it didn't show any suspicious devices. Can someone help me?

Also, questions to support :

  1. Why do I keep getting these emails?
  2. Is the noreply@email.apple.com legit?
  3. Why does Apple send it to my everyday gmail rather than to my iCloud mail?
  4. I even turn on the two factor authentication but why is this keep happening?
