Q: icloud keychain verification

I've been asked to verify my icloud keychain via a device that i no longer use (an old cell number). Authority codes are being sent to the old number. How do I verify icloud keychain and remove the old cell number?

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.0.2

    If you have a Mac that is already using keychain, try changing the number at System preferences > iCloud Keychain > Options, if you have a mobile device try changing the number at Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. Otherwise...


    You can only change the number once you are successfully logged in the iCloud Keychain. Get help using iCloud Keychain - Apple Support


    If you are not already logged into the iCloud Keychain and you cannot receive the verification code and you do not have another device already logged into iCloud Keychain that you can approve from, then you will need to choose the option that says forgot code.  This will allow you to reset the keychain.
