I'm not receiving 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 receive SMS messages. You can do this by asking someone to send you a text message.
Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, you can contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help completing iCloud Keychain setup.

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 How do I program in that that number is no longer active.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!!!!!

Hello Conor T,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you do not have access to the phone number you set up for iCloud Keychain, you will need to contact Apple Support to complete setup on a new device.
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 can't access 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 can't access this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity, so that you can complete setup on your new device.
After you complete the setup, your iCloud Keychain will be pushed from the cloud to the new device.

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?

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.

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.

Keychain verification code

On my iPad, I'm trying to get iCloud keychain going. I've entered the first code (4 digit), received the SMS from apple (6 digit), and entered it. Now, nothing happens. The "in progress spinner" just spins forever.
Any ideas how to fix? Thanks.

This makes no sense. I keep getting keychain verification codes via text and no idea what to do with them. What do I do with them or how do I get it to stop sending me these codes. Should I just turn off Keychain altogether? It is anoying.

Keychain verification code is being sent to an old device I no longer own.

I have a new iPad Air and iPhone 5s both running IOS 8.2! I am trying to setup keychain but I no longer have access to the mobile number/ device that the verification code is being sent to. How do I edit those details So that the verification code is sent to my current mobile number Thanks.

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.

HT3529 why do some messages in a string get sent via iMessage (blue) while others in that string are sent via SMS (green)?

why do some messages in a string get sent via iMessage (blue) while others in that string are sent via SMS (green)?

Because the other end may not be on a data network and can receive SMS only at that time. Also if imessage can't send via imessage then it will fall back to SMS if you have that turned on.

Why am i getting icloud keychain verification codes when i didn't request any?
