Q: how to change "iCloud Security Code"

After updating to iOS 9.3, I was asked to enter "iCloud Security Code".

How can I change that code in iOS 9.3?

Thanks

iPad Air, iOS 9.3

On my iPad, Settings>iCloud>Keychain doesn't offer Advanced; it just offers an on-off toggle for iCloud Keychain.

Have the instructions changed? Does anyone have a pointer to Apple instructions on this for 9.3?

I am running iOS 9.3 on my iPad. That is where it is. Did you ever set an iCloud keychain code?

I don't have a record of (and don't recall) setting an iCloud keychain code. What I see is this:

Then you didn't set one up. What exactly is asking for your iCloud Keychain code?

When restarting after the update to iOS 9.3 appeared, a dialog appeared asking for an 'iCloud security code'. I successfully entered the one I had in my records, and so was able to proceed as normal.

I would now like to change the code but don't see how that can be done.

In MacOS 10.11, Systems Preferences:iCloud:KeyChain similarly does not show an 'options' where, e.g., If you enter your iCloud Security Code incorrectly too many times - Apple Support, says 'options' should appear is one has it enabled.

Is 'iCloud keychain code' the same as 'iCloud security code'?
