Q: How do I change a phone number on Keychains?

My phone number is correct, but off by one digit so it doesn't send the codes to my phone to get keychain on my laptop, but when I try to enter it on my computer, it says I already have the phone number.

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2

    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.
