iCloud Verification has too many devices

Occasionally I need to verify my identity to iCloud. The list of devices includes my old iPad (no longer own), my iPad Air 2, plus four instances of my iPhone 5s (I am on my third replacement, fourth total). How do I tell iCloud to only list my to iOS devices (iPad Air 2 and latest iPhone 5s)?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Hello there, DesertRatR.


The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information on what to do to remove devices from iCloud verification:

What if I lose or give away one of my trusted devices?

If you no longer have access to one of your devices, go to My Apple ID as soon as possible to remove that device from your list of trusted devices. That device can then no longer be used to help verify your identity.

What if I no longer have access to any of my trusted devices?

If you can't access any of your trusted devices, you can still access your account using your password and Recovery Key. You should then verify a new trusted device as soon as possible.
