I forgot my keychain security code

If you forgot your iCloud Security Code

Based on if you can access one of your devices that has iCloud Keychain enabled, follow the steps below.

If you can access one of your devices that has iCloud Keychain enabled

On your device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, you can reset the Security Code for iCloud Keychain.

On iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8 or later:

1. If you have iOS 10.3 or later, tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. For iOS 10.2 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced.
2. Tap Change Security Code.
3. Enter your Apple ID password when asked.
4. Enter a new iCloud Security Code.

On Mac:

1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.)
2. Click Change Security Code to set a new iCloud Security Code.

If you can't access one of your devices that has iCloud Keychain enabled

Without access to one of your devices that has iCloud Keychain enabled, the Security Code can't be reset. Instead, you can reset iCloud Keychain and create a new Security Code.

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.
