I installed Mavericks, and as the computer was setting it up, it asked me questions to set up iCloud keychain. At one point, it asked me to input a phone number that will be used to verify purchcases or something like that. I just got a new phone, and thought I had memorized it correctly, but I input the wrong phone number (off by one digit). Is there a way for me to fix this?
If anyone can suggest something, it would be greatly appreciated!
Go to System Preferences, then iCloud. Click on Account Details and you should see where to change the verification phone number.

Thanks, you are a genius! I want your babies.
Is there a way to do this in iOS7?
Thanks.

Hi there's not in option to change the SMS verification in System Preferences... When I go to iCloud > Account Details (button) - there's only an option to the Description. Clicking on the "Manage Apple ID..." loads the manage Apple ID website on Apple.com and that site doesn't have the SMS verification number. Ple
The checkbox next to keychain must be checked for the other fields to appear in Account Details. If you've set up the wrong verification phone number and then unchecked the box next to keychain, you will only see the description, and the box can't be enabled again unless you have access to the phone. The workaround I've found is to check the checkbox next to keychain again, but when asked for your security key, click forgot key, then click reset keychain and set up from scratch. All should be good!
Excellent tip. It worked. Thanks a bunch
That WORKS!! Thanks!
This is the answer that helped me as Keychain was unchecked in all my devices and I did not have access to the old phone number
Thanks you SO much!
