Hello,
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?
:/
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Just to add I get this message often under a variety of circumstances,
e.g. Upgrading macOS, creating macOS VMs, rebuilding a Mac from scratch.
No harm appears to have ever been done!

One would expect to see such a message when creating a macOS VM or
rebuidling from scratch. Bit I was surprised to see it when just having performed an update - this seems to be a new-ish phenominum.

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.
It's right there in the message: "If you recently signed in to this
device, you can ignore this notification".
But I never signed in recently. It's always logged in online.
