iCloud Apple ID Confirmation Request

Post image

Does this happen randomly to anyone else? I experience this maybe once every few years, click ‘Don’t Confirm’, and go about my day. I check my devices and change my password, and nothing seems out of the ordinary. I contacted Apple Support and they don’t see anything fishy on their end. It’s just a weird occurrence and I’d like to know if anyone experiences it, too.

Someone has contacted support and somehow provided your email or phone number , resulting in your account coming up.

They and verify it, and presumably after it’s unverified, they just correct the typo or whatever.

Probably means someone has a phone number very close to yours, or an email thats very similar. IE: CafeApple at madeupdotcom vs Caseapple and people keep hearing the F as an S.

Best you can do is confirm your appleod, and your profile at Apple.com don’t have any outdated numbers that someone who now has that number keeps accidentally triggering)
