Why is my phone receiving an apple id verification code when i didnt request one
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14
Someone may be trying to sign your Apple ID, which would generate the request for a verification code. Since you have 2 Factor Authentication enabled, as long as they can't access one of your trusted devices, they can't get a code, and sign in. You should be okay.
Same thing has happened to me twice. First time it happened to me, I not only changed my password, but ALSO my email which I made to be exclusively used for Apple ID and Apple ID only. But I still received an unrequested verification code text AGAIN today. It would be impossible for someone to know my new Apple ID email unless there was a google or Apple security breach within the last 2 weeks in which my brand new email was leaked, which is doubtful. So idk what’s going on.
Just explained this to an Apple support member over the phone, and he told me others are having the same problem and it is a “bug”, and not someone trying to get into my account. This is the only explanation that makes sense since my new email has an incredibly unique name, and is not linked to any website other than google and Apple, so I don’t know how someone could have guessed both my brand new email and 10+ character strong password to trigger a verification message. Can any apple support members confirm this is a bug? If it is a bug, it is a huge security risk and needs to be addressed promptly.
