This is a known iCloud security lock and it happens when Apple tries to decrypt your end-to-end encrypted data (like Keychain, Health, Messages in iCloud, and some Photos/Notes data), and the system thinks it still needs the passcode of a previous trusted device — even if you erased or sold it.
Good news: You can fix it yourself, even without the old device.
Below is the correct fix depending on what you want:
✔ keep existing encrypted data OR
✔ reset the data to remove the passcode requirement
How do I fix iCloud data syncing issue with passcode request from a previous device?
