About 30 minutes ago, 2020 13" Intel MBP's macOS Ventura v13.6.9
showed an unexpected "Device Added to Your Account -- A Mac now has
access to iMessage..." notification alert. However, I don't see any
unrecognizable device(s) in this Apple ID account. Is it somewhere
else? Or a hiccup?
:/

Likely just a hiccup. I've noticed this message after signing into a Mac
I haven't used in a while, for instance. This shouldn't concern you if
you have a secure password for your Apple ID and are using two-factor
authentication.

Ah, thanks. Apple needs to make that messages clearer if that is the case. Yes, complex passwords and 2FA.
