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.

Subject: Your Apple ID is being used...
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?
