I keep receiving text messages sent to my phone with the Samsung account verification code that only appears when I'm trying to get into my account it's a type of 2 verification method. But I haven't tried login into any other device and I can't trace the location of the device that's trying to access my account.
Would anyone happen to have Any advice or suggestions? Thanks

Are you sure they are from Samsung and not a phishing attempt? It's been my experience that Samsung only sends push notifications and emails, not texts. If you didn't request the codes, don't click anything. Looks like someone may be trying to get into your Samsung account. You should change your account password and only tap on the authentication that you requested.
