See if the following would work --

Turn off iCloud Keychain if it’s on on all of your devices.
From one of your iOS devices, go to Keychain and tap Approve with Security Code.
When prompted for the 4-digit iCloud Security code tap Forgot Code.
Follow the prompts to reset the code (the easiest thing is to use the same code that you use for the device you’re on).
Now this device should have iCloud Keychain enabled and working.
Now from your other devices, enable iCloud Keychain.
You should get a notification on the working device about this.
Enter your iCloud password in the prompt.
iCloud Keychain should now be enabled on this device.
Repeat for your other devices.
