I received an email saying "A request to reset your password or unlock your account was made for your Apple ID. Enter the code bleow on the verification page. At the same time I got a two step authentication code on my phone. I didn't do anything but thought I would check here to see if I should reset my password or do anything else? From what I can tell, the system worked well. But it concerns me that somebody knows my Apple ID and can go on and request a new password.
You can change your Apple ID email address on your current Apple ID so you retain access to your data and prior purchases. Note the restrictions in the article.
Make sure you turn off Find My Phone before signing out of the old ID. Once signed out and Find My Phone is off, then sign in with the new ID, then turn Find My Phone back on.
What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support * I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.
Eric, by the time you posted this I had already spoken to Apple support and she walked me through changing my Apple ID and password. However, she did NOT have me turn off Find my iPhone. How important is that and should or can I still do it?
Change your password and report this incident to Apple Support.
It is only important if you change to a different Apple ID. You don't really need to do it if changing the same ID. You should be fine.
