I received a very similar message from Amazon on 3/7/16. Discussion boards seemed to indicate it was legit, however my password was never actually changed by Amazon as the e-mail indicated, nor did I ever change it manually as a result.
The e-mail also appeared legit on the headers, but now that I look at a little more closely it originated from amazonses.com which is seems like it might be an e-mail service you can subscribe to?
My assumption would have been that it was a phishing attempt, and that any credentials I had shared in response to the e-mail ought to be assumed compromised immediately.
I'm not familiar with this "discussion board" approach to trusting unexpected requests for login details.
