Would Apple send me an email to reset my Apple password for security reasons?

its a scam

did you reset your password? You need to change it with Apple if you did.

Not from Apple. Reset your Apple ID password now.

You very likely just gave your credentials to a criminal. Go to the real Apple portal and change your password immediately!
