    If your device had a recent update, and you also recently logged on to Facebook, then your logon information was accepted but your device wasn't recognized. So you were sent an email to let you know there was a logon. Meta is the new name for Facebook and all the other online companies Zuckerberg is CEO of. You don't need to respond to the email, because they will know that you've already received it. A word of caution never respond to an email asking you to verify your password, because no legitimate company or bank will ever ask for it in an email.
