  • Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Check that the phone number listed under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
  • Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Check that the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.

This does not work.


- When using the iOS way the screen Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain shows "approve with security code" grayed out. No telephone number anywhere.


- When using Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Account Details, there is no option to change anything at all. You can, however, go to "Manage Apple ID" and change your phone number. Even so, the SMS code is still being sent to the wrong number.

Hi everyone,


I just have same problem, but i found a solution....


On iOS go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain and tap to button to disable iCloud Keychain. (you will be asked to delete or keep passwords on device) i chose delete....


Then enable it again and in pop-up chose Reset iCloud Keychain, on confirmation pop-up chose Reset


In new pop-up Use iPhone Passcode as iCloud Security Code? chose Use Passcode


Enter your passcode (4 digit) and then chose country and your new phone number


And done! 🙂

I just changed my number on Iphone 4, 7.1.2

This worked for me. Although, to "Reset iCloud Keychain," I assumed meant to clear the data and essentially set up a new, blank Keychain. Not so. Strangely, after essentially bypassing the security regimen, setting a new passcode and verification number, I see my cards, passwords and other data have been restored. Maybe it's all about the iCloud account and that master password. Or maybe it's a bug. With Apple, we'll never know.

How do I change the phone number associated to my keychain?
