Are you sharing your apple id? Because a similar scenario happened where my sister called me and said she was (after calling me for some payment verification details) prompted to enter new answers to security questions ... After having shared my password for years for AppStore access.

Had she simply not informed me I might have been in your exact same situation.

Off-topic but I'm curious: How do you and your sister handle sharing iMessage? I can imagine the confusion if my sis and I were getting the same messages from each other's acquaintances.

me and my best friend share my apple id and password for use with the app store. we definitely don't get each other's iMessages. she uses her own apple id and password when logging in to that.

yes, App store login is separate from Messages login.

Also, if someone WOULD log in with your account in iMessage (or FaceTime), you would know this because you get a notification like this on EVERY device: https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare...

I didn't realize the two features can be set up separately, thanks!

fyi for you and other commenters, there is no need to do this anymore - you can have separate accounts and create an iCloud Family instead, purchases + payment info get shared and nothing else.

That doesn't work if the other person uses an AppStore in a different country. You can add the other person to the 'Family' but you can not share purchases. (Very annoying...)
