AppleID locked and forced to change multiple times

I am using three iphones under my AppleID (Two iphone7, one iphone 10) that are in different locations/countries. Recently it happened that when starting the phones in the morning, at least one of my devices (iphone7) is unusable and tells me that my Apple ID has been locked for security reasons and that I have to verify plus set a new password. After I changed it thinsg work, BUT now this froced change happens ever morning (last 3 consecutive days)... Anyone can help to understand where the issues is? Much appreciated.

This is happening because the iPhones are in different locations. As Apple ID's are personal, the system flags it as suspicious that the iPhones are in different locations. So it locks your id and let you give up your password to make sure that your id is not compromised

I don't think you can .Logging in with your Apple ID resolves the issue temporarily. But when you're still in 2 different locations, the system keeps thinking "well this is weird" and keeps locking your Apple ID for security reasons, in order to try and keep your Apple ID as safe as possible

Thank you so much. Can I solve this issue somehow then, still using two phones in different locations with the same AppleID?

Thanks a lot. Do you think it could eventually help if I switch off the "Find My iPhone" and "location servcies" on all other phones, except one? Thank you for your opinion, much appreciated.
