Strange sms with Apple ID codes

Good afternoon! I would be very grateful for your help ...


Just last week I bought a new iPhone 11 pro max and registered a new Apple account. I configured two-factor authentication. But yesterday I started receiving messages from Apple with my Apple ID code. At the same time, I did not sign in to anything and did not change passwords. Messages came while I was sleeping. I do not know what to do. I'm afraid someone is trying to hack me. Please, tell me what can be done about this? (PS I’ve checked the devices linked to the my Apple account, there is only my phone)

iPhone 11 Pro Max, 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.
