How to recover an iCloud security code after you’ve been locked out<article>
<section class="page">
<p>A reader asks:</p>
<p>“How can I recover my iCloud Security Code? I entered the wrong iCloud security code a number of times for my iCloud Keychain, and now I’m locked out. It’s a 4-digit PIN, just like my ATM, and I wasn’t thinking and kept entering my ATM PIN. Is there any way to recover an iCloud security code?” </p>
<p>Because you’re now locked out, your iCloud Keychain has been disabled on the device you were using, and your keychain in iCloud will be deleted as well. You might see one of the following messages:</p><ul>
<li>“Security Code Incorrectly Entered Too Many Times. Approve this iPhone from one of your other devices using iCloud Keychain. If no devices are available, reset your iCloud Keychain.”</li>
<li>“Your iCloud Security Code has been entered too many times. Approve this Mac from one of your other devices using iCloud Keychain. If no devices are available, reset iCloud Keychain.”</li>
</ul>
<p>Here’s the best course of action, as advised by Apple’s support page.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3145796/security/how-to-recover-an-icloud-security-code-after-you-ve-been-locked-out.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
