As long as you have the 2 factor authentication then you can stop any weird logins, and if you changed your password then you should be fine

Hey guys,

 

So I just received a message (pop up notification, not some illegitimate mail) saying that someone from China was trying to log in with my Apple ID. Ofcourse I immediately pushed the "do not allow this" button & I also immediately reset my password. I also have 2 step identification enabled. Am I still at risk? If so, what further measures could I take to eliminate this threat? 

 

Thanks in advance for the response.

Best regards from a worried pleb :(

A pop-up from within iOS (not Safari or another app)?

Yes, a pop-up from within IOS. Like you would normally get when u log in to a new Iphone with your Apple ID for example.
