On a computer, System Preferences/iCloud, Keychain/Options and change the number there.


On your device, go to Settings Your Name iCloud Keychain and switch Keychain off then on again.


Tap "Approve with Security Code", tap "Forgot Code" and then tap "Reset".


Follow the instructions to reset iCloud keychain and create a new passcode.


You will then be prompted to update to your new number.
