Hello Iced_Ham,


If you are having issues with your iCloud Keychain setup due to a change in phone number, you may find the steps outlined in the following article helpful:


If you didn't receive the verification code via SMS

  1. Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
  2. Make sure that your phone number can get SMS messages. To check, ask someone to send you a text message.
  3. Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
    • On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    • On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.


If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.
