Happened to me today. First got the message on my computer that my location was unknown and needed to enter a code from the phone. By the end of it, I had to reset my Apple password. No idea why it happened.

Didn't someone discover the unpachable NSA backdoors in the M series processors recently? Could be related.

Yeah, LOL. They're trying to memory hole that one.

Happened to me last night. I got a push notification on my watch that I needed to update my iCloud password. I thought that this isn't right, so I went to my phone and MacBook. Same thing, those devices said I needed to change my password. So I figured someone has my @iCloud email address and tried to login. I do have hardware keys setup, so wasn't terribly worried.

But none the less, I liked my old password and had to change to something else.

So... anyone with just your iCloud email address can get you locked out?? That's not what I would call secure. ?
