Create new iCloud security code?

In the past couple of days, I've been getting these pop ups on my iPad that tell me to create a new iCloud security code because of a change of servers.
And I can't quite put my finger on it, but this feels virusy to me.
When I tapped "find out more" it took me to an Apple page that "couldn't find the article I was looking for".

Can someone explain this to me?

That's what I thought. Also it only happens with my iPad never my phone. I will try stopping by the Genius Bar tonight so they can look at it.

Boy do I feel dumb now:

I called Apple support, they said it's not phishing, and to turn off the keychain, delete everything on it and start over.
And if it happens again then I should call them back.

No clue. If it happens again, we'll have to figure out why I'm being prompted to change the code. Right now it's turned off.

Did you ask if there is ever a reason Apple would send that message? All my 4 digit codes are the same. I don't want to get locked out. I have 1Password now though.
