I had a similar issue not long ago. I went in and really changed it into a massive 50 character pw. My spotify account was hijacked in 2017 and managed to get it back - someone from Tunisia - he had the audacity to start creating playlists full of autotune rappers. I wouldn't mind sharing but man his taste in music was awful.
I had the same message a few days ago. I have family premium, so, I checked the family invites, and, there were 3 unknown invites that I hadn’t seen before (they hadn’t accepted them yet though). It seems odd that I wouldn’t get an email saying that a family invite was sent out.
The only ways I can imagine someone would get that email address are:
A) From Spotify (i.e. breach)
B) From Google (as I linked my Spotify account to Google Home, which presumably shares the registered email address)
C) From some poor security practice on my part (e.g. maybe I entered the email address on a phishing site, or have malware on one of my devices, or someone has access to my email, ...)
D) Guessing it.
I had presumed C or D, but given the timing of your post, I'm now not so sure...
They check passwords against other hacks, so if you used the same email-password combination somewhere else that would cause them to reset your account. https://www.businessinsider.de/spotify-users-password-reset-...

My email for spotify login is unique, and of the form *+spotify@gmail.com
