ICloud Keychain - Can I Deauthorize a Single Lost Computer or Device?

I love the concept of iCloud Keychain, but am wondering what would happen if I ever lost my Mac or iPhone.
Would I be able to deauthorize iCloud Keychain for a specific device that has been lost or stolen, so that it would immediately stop working in that device?

Thank you for your answer, Matt, but while deauthorizing a device via iTunes would solve an iTunes-related issue, unfortunately it wouldn't solve an Apple ID-related issue, such as iCloud Keychain.
Since there doesn't seem to be any way to manage each authorized device, it seems that a solution would be to change the Apple ID's password.
But I am still curious about how to manage those devices associated specifically with iCloud KeyChain. What happens in the event I sell or lose my "trusted device"? How would I set a new trusted device out of my remaining devices - or a new one?
Anyone?

If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief will not ever be able to use it.

Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

You cannot, nor do you need to until you reach the limit of 5. Then you can deauthorize all and authorize only the machines you choose.

I can't log into my iCloud keychain due to the fact I lost my password?

I Can't log into my iCloud keychain account due to lost password? Every time I want to change it will change my Apple ID password. I put my password for my Apple ID in for iCloud keychain and it won't work? Any help would be great

Hi
https://appleid.apple.com/
and
https://www.icloud.com
are two different accounts
Therefore you should still use your "old" (existing) iCloud mail address - you cannot change the iCloud mail address.
However you could add an alias instead to you iCloud account.

ICloud keychain: can't set up phone number

When setting up my keychain protection code i've chosen "generate random code", finished all steps and now option for setting up phone number in iCloud Keychain settings isn't available (not visible in iOS and disabled on Mac). If i change protection code any other ways (4-digit number or custom) then i can set up phone number.
So why is that happening - why i can't set up validation phone number when i use random-generated security code?

Turn off iMessage, Reset your iPhone (hold down the sleep and home button, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons), turn iMessage back on and see if it now shows your number.
If you are using a non-supported cell provider you will have to try other remedies.

ICloud keychain not syncing on 1 (a Mac) of 4 devices

I am trying to enable iCloud keychain syncing on four devices: iMac, MacBook Air, iPhone 5s, iPad Air. All devices have the most current OS and are otherwise operating with no issues (including Internet connectivity).
The iCloud keychain on the MacBook Air is not syncing; passwords saved on the MBA do not sync "up" to iCloud, and passwords saved on any of the other three devices do not sync "down" to the MBA. The other three devices work as they should. The MBA is running 10.9.2 and all other aspects of iCloud work (e.g., contacts syncing, notes syncing). All devices are on the same iCloud account.
I have tried the following with no success:
1. Added/removed iCloud from the MBA (many times).
2. Checked/unchecked the "Keychain" item in Settings>iCloud (many times).
3. Keychain repair.
4. Various networks in multiple locations, both WiFi and wired.
5. The steps outlined in this Apple support document (multiple times): http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4644
6. Resetting Safari (multiple times).
7. Various other non-iCloud specific troubleshooting steps like emptying Trash and repairing disk permissions.
8. Deleting the Ubiquity folder in ~/Library/Application Support (figured it was worth a shot).
Would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

That isn't an option, I can't see how to change the account associated with the iPad. In Setting->iCloud, if I tap Delete Account, it gives the dialogue "If you delete your account, all documents stored in iCloud will be deleted from this iPad." With buttons for Delete and Cancel only.
I'm ok with deleting from the iPad, because I've turned off the calendar, reminders etc. and kept them on the iPad. So I just want to be sure they don't get delete from iCloud.
And of course, we will stop being able to use the same contacts list, which was the main reason for using one iCloud account.

How do i set up iCloud keychain if the security code was sent to a device i lost

So I lost my original ipone 5 while i was overseas. I locked it and wiped out the the information using Find My iPhone. Now i have a new ipone 5C but the verifivation code is being sent to my old phone number instead of my new one. I just want to keychain all my devices, those being an ipad mini, my mac book pro and my iphone 5C. Please help!

If you need to change the phone number associated with your account (from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5834):
Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Check that the phone number listed under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Check that the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.

I lost my iphone 5 and I already loged using iCloud _how can I find it, I lost my iphone 5 and I already loged using iCloud _how can I find it

I lost my iPhone while am traveling in the airport. I turn it in to airplane mode. I used my iCloud as well and install already the find my iPhone application. Once I logged in, I couldn't find the iPhone I the list in this application_please help me!!
What if I have it's serial number? Wouldn't help?

The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

1 app, 3 devices, 1 iCloud - how can I run the same game on different devices?

My wife and I share one iTunes account and one iCloud account for 2 iPhone 5's and an iPad. Our home laptop is a PC running windows 7. We are not able to both play the same game (specifically Carcassone) at the same time on different devices which is frustrating, how can I make this happen? Do I need two separate accounts? Can I have two accounts with a PC? We don't want to sacrifice the photostream to get it though.
Thank you,
Jacob

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

How can i Deauthorize my old broken computer? ( i can't access it:'( pleide help!)

My Windows 7 pc broke and i have got an new Mac mini but i cant Deauthorize my old Windows 7 pc. How can i do that without having access to my old pc?

You will have to deauthorize all your computers and then reauthorize the ones that need it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 says:
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).

ICloud Keychain Bug - inherits setting of new machine

iCloud Keychain is a great idea that allows you to choose more complex, difficult to break passwords and keep them available for all you OSX Mavericks and iOS 7.0.3+ devices. Add this to Safari password suggestion tool, and you enhance security of your data tremendously. And so I happily upgraded my Macbook Pro and my iOS devices and changed my most important passwords. And the the big problem: I decided to upgrade the mac mini in my office. Problem is that, if you add a new mac to your collection, iCloud Keychain inherits the settings of the attached computer instead of asking, destroying all you have done before and making you reset all passwords, what may require hours of tedious work depending on your password collection.
Bad Apple. Very bad.

You could try to find the old ID as explained here: try to find it as explained here: Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID. If you find it, you would then have to reset the password as explained here: iCloud: Change your iCloud password.
Or, you could just create a new Apple ID by going here: https://appleid.apple.com/account.
To create your iCloud account, you would then go to System Preferences>iCloud on the new Mac and sign in with the ID to create the account, then check the items you want to sync with iCloud. Just be aware that each device/Mac can only create a maximum of three iCloud accounts. If these have already been created on this Mac then you won't be able to create a new account without using a different iOS device running iOS 5 or higher (iPhoto, iPad, iPod touch) or Mac running OS X 10.7.5 or higher, if you have one.

ICloud keychain disconnecting on sleep

Today I rebooted my macbook air today after a few weeks without a reboot and after deleting a load of stuff off my HD as I was warned about my "startup disk is full" etc. Suddenly none of my email account passwords were saved and loads of web forms didn't autofill...
After attempting repair of my local keychain only to be told everything was fine (it wasn't) I finally realised I might be able to restore from iCloud keychain, then I realised that this should be on. So I completed the authorisation and turned the iCloud Keychain on, problem solved! Or so I thought, after having some food I returned to my sleeping Macbook Air to discover it had done the exact same thing again and once again I had to reconnect to the iCloud keychain...

This worked for me. I can't take credit, I found this on another site.
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.
Hope this helps!

How can I deauthorize computers if I don't have any of them anymore

BHow can I deauthorize computers if I don't have any of them anymore

You need to deauthorize all computers and then reauthorize the ones you still have. See the quote below from Deauthorize your computer using iTunes - Apple Support
My computer doesn't work anymore. Can I deauthorize it?
You can't deauthorize a single computer if you don't have it or can't use it. Instead, you need to deauthorize all computers and then reauthorize the ones you're still using.
