No I have not but it happens when I am in fact accessing my devices.

ET,
Have you changed your primary password for iCloud? If these actions are
not being initiated by you then it pretty much means somebody else has
your iCloud password.

Tim,
Not sure really. Too often and usually when I do not want the
distractions. I have enabled 2FA as well. That generally only kicks in
when I sign out of something then sign back in. But I am not adding
new devices so receiving those alerts makes on sense.

Hi ET,
How often are you getting this notification? Between family devices
and a few work devices that I'm signed into, I have close to 20
devices using my Apple ID for some purpose or other. I almost never
receive notifications unless I sign into a new device that was not
ever used before. Maybe it has something to do with me having Two
Factor authentication enabled, so the devices are noted as "Allowed",
but I don't recall getting a multitude of notifications even prior to
enabling Two Factor authentication.

Hi,
The location stuff all has to do with the ISP and how it routes your
traffic. Our work ISP routes its traffic through a connection in
Calgary, which is over 700 km drive south of us. So, the IP that we
are given for outbound traffic is registered in Calgary, not Fort
McMurray and that's what Apple is going on when this message is sent
to you. To the original question, I'll look into it some, but don't
have time right now to see if it is configurable. i doubt it, but
will check.

Simon,
I've seen that too and read or heard something to the effect that
this "location" is the server being used for the task you are
running. Makes sense somewhat but not practical sense.

I ET,
Yes it's kind of crazy that everytime you do something this alert
comes up.
What's funny for us in NZ though is that the alert states that my
device was used in a location approx. 400KM northwest in the middle
of our mountain range,
Near Mt Cook which is our highest peak, in a place called wellington
which is our capital and is north of me by approx. 1000 Km so
neither are close each other.

I realize of course this is not a bad thing to be made aware when
a device is being used to sign in. But its too frequent. Can the
frequency of this type of notification be changed?
