iCloud Keychain

>>> Once you’re signed in to iCloud in System Preferences, you can set up iCloud Keychain. This stores an encrypted copy of website account details and bank cards that you enter in Safari to save you having to re-enter them.

If you don’t already use this feature and want to, follow the steps at bit.ly/

ickeychain to set it up. During setup, you’ll be asked to create a six-digit security code, which you can enter on additional devices to grant them access to your keychain. (Note that with two-factor authentication enabled for your Apple ID, which we’ll discuss later, it takes the security code’s place in protecting your keychain.)

You’ll also be asked for a cell phone number to verify your identity by sending a verification code in a text message. To update your number or if you forget your code, click Options next to Keychain in iCloud’s prefs.

If you choose to reset the code, the keychain’s current contents are lost. To do so, check Keychain, then click Forgot Code.
