apple account password reset.

ive had an iphone for majority of my life, but only today have i gotten a message from “81961” saying i have one day left to reset my apple account password.

i haven’t seen a message in the past for this, and now i have one day to do it. i’m a little suspicious so im just wondering if this is actually apple + if i actually need to?

my password isn’t easy to guess at all and has never (to my knowledge) been in a breach. is this a regular thing now?

iPhone 8, iOS 16
