Why was I suddenly asked to verify my keychain security code..... something about new servers?

I have suddenly been asked to verify my keychain code. It all 'appears' to be through Apple.... is this some sort of scam to get personal details?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

And oddly now I can't open any files in Preview. png's or pdfs. Still investigating… are these related incidences?

ok, to clarify, the prompt about a security code was through iCloud (system preferences) and I did go ahead and create a security code. My above Preview difficulties were resolved before I did so by rebooting the Mac. I think it was related because I've got Preview files in the cloud.


No mention of new servers were in my prompt.
