    Hello michelesapple,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand you are unable to receive the iCloud Keychain verification code.  I'm sorry this is causing so much frustration, but it is understandable as it's a great feature to use.  To troubleshoot this specific issue where you're not receiving the SMS, please follow the steps below.
    If you didn't receive the verification code via SMS
    Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
    Make sure that your phone number can get SMS messages. To check, ask someone to send you a text message.
    Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number. 
    On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.

  • I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. Is my info safe??

    I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. I only got this number about a month ago. Apparently someone else had the number before because I get texts from his family members wondering whats going on. I got one yesterday and the person didn't seem to thrilled that the number was cutoff and today I got 2 texts about iCloud Keychain which I don't even know what it is. Seems suspicious to me. If the person who use to own the number is doing it he should know it is not his number anymore because he obviously didn't pay his bills.  I'm not too sure about iCloud Keychain so just want to know my info safe?? It says it can store credit card numbers which is what gets me worried. Frankly I think it's pretty stupid to save that kind if information with any kind of app. But I don't want some random person trying to access my personal information because they are bitter they lost their number.  Please let me know as soon as possible so I can change passwords or anything that is needed.
    thanks

    If it were me, I would go to my carrier and get a new number. Since you have only had it for a month, the inconvenience would be minimal.

  • ICloud Keychain verification codes

    How do I stop getting iCloud Keychain verification codes via text

    Okay, for all of you following this or experiencing the problem - here's the trick - give up on iCloud entirely - disconnect everything from it and whatever iCloud thinks it has on you will disappear - keep in mind that this will not blow-out or delete any keychain entries on your local machines - those are sacrosanct and will remain - each machine is/was/remains an island without iCloud - but it's likely (in my case) and maybe in many of yours that iCloud thinks it has important stuff in it - but it just might be wrong.
    In my case, I disconnected my iPad, iPhone, MBA and iMac and followed the process to blow out the entire online keychain and any documents out in the cloud - I didn't have much of anything and I lost no files either.
    Once all that was done, I started iCloud on my iPhone 6+ without issue, and then proceeded to add the MacBook Air, desktop and so forth - and it's great now.

  • HT1212 what is an iCloud keychain verification code and how is it used?

    I recently had my iPhone replaced.  During the setup, i got a text with an iCloud keychain verification code, but I cannot see where I use this code (I presume to unlock all the passwords the keychain contains).

    It seems like one of these in the link I provided answers your question:
    How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device if I don't have one of my other devices to approve from?
    If you don't have access to any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
    Your iCloud Security Code
    The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you don't have access to this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity so that you can complete setup on your new device.
    If you have these items, follow the iCloud Keychain setup steps documented above. Your iCloud Keychain will then be pushed from the cloud to the new device.
    Can Apple recover my iCloud Security Code?
    No. If you enter your iCloud Security Code incorrectly too many times, you won't be able to use that iCloud Keychain. You can contact Apple Support, who can help verify your identity so that you can try again to enter your iCloud Security Code. After a number of incorrect attempts, your iCloud Keychain is removed from Apple's servers and you will need to set up iCloud Keychain again.

  • Itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

    itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

    I have read the the advice you gave, and I had already tried that. It did not help.
    When I tried to download an album with nine songs, (I have paid for the complete album), two songs were missing. One of them has showed up/disappeared a couple of times, but with a cloud/arrow-symbol next to it, what I thought to be a symbol for downloading from the cloud. When I click it, it starts a downloading process, and then I am told it cannot be done, "please try again later".  The other song is nowhere to be seen.  The song with the cloud/arrow-symbol, I bought 3 times, once with the album, twice just the song. That didn't change matters. iTunes tells me I have downoladed all songs I have purchased.
    I do not really understand why you do not understand what I am writing, I only describe what happens when I use iTunes.
    If a person want to use iCloud, one needs an iPhone, iPad or an iPod Touch. That information is not given until you have downloaded and installed the iCloud program. That is why I have it on my computer, but cannot use it. To set up an iClod account, you have to connect one of the above mentioned devices. I don't have one, so I cannot do it.
    If you want the (13013) problem explained, I suggest you google it. I am not the only one to have that problem.
    I am thankful that you spend time on trying to help me, but I cannot explain things clearer than this.

  • My iCloud ID seems cracked: iCloud Keychain verification codes were sent from unknown senders

    This morning, I received four SMS (text) messages from different phone numbers to my iPhone (iPhone 4s, iOS7.2.1).
    All the SMS messages say
    'Your iCloud Keychain verification number is xxxxxx' (6 digiit number)
    All the phone numbers, which sent the message to me, seem mobile phone numbers in Malaysia:
    +60 14 7380 651
    +60 17 846 7052
    +60 10 890 1756
    +60 14 7380 650
    and I did not know any of the senders (phone numbers).
    (Also what I have found is the first and fourth numbers are different only by one.)
    I think I have not touched Keychain feature of iCloud recently.
    I doubted that my password for Apple ID was cracked.
    Thus, I have changed my password for Apple ID (and iCloud).
    I also have an ipad2 tablet (iOS7.2.1).
    Are there anything else should I do?

  • HT204085 ICloud Keychain verification code

    I replaced my iPad 4 with an iPad Air and while trying to do an iCloud restore it says a verification code will be sent to my cell. I no longer have access the that cell number...is there a way to change the cell number or get it via email?

    You would have to contact Apple, if you do not have access to your number anymore (Please see also iCloud Keychain FAQ): https://support.apple.com/kb/HT5813
    If you don't have access to this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity so that you can complete setup on your new device.

  • What should I do if I no longer have access to the phone number that my iCloud keychain verification code is sent to?

    When I first turned in iCloud keychain I had no other Apple devises so I put in a phone number for it to send my verification number to. Then I had to delete that phone number but the iCloud keychain number is still saying it is going to send the verification number to that phone. How do I program in that that number is no longer active. Please help!!!!!

  • Icloud keychain verification code

    I don't have access to the old phone number to recieve the verification code i've clicked on "Don't have access to this phone?' but it didn't really help.

    You can change the verification phone number by doing one of the following:
    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.
