icloud security code
Why did when I try to turn on iCloud Keychain he ask me if I want to authenticate with my security code OR device, and when I choose security code and then correctly enter my security code, always wants to send another code by SMS to a device for approval?
What is the point of giving me a choice of security mechanism of GOLD code if it is going to require a device anyway? Is there something I'm missing about this procedure?
The two methods are:
(1) require the authentication of a device previously authorized. This means that the iCloud Keychain system will send a pop-up at all your devices that are currently already using iCloud keychain and authenticated. This is the easiest method, as it will simply pop up on your other devices and you authenticate with your password Apple ID to give your new device access. Fact.
(2) use the Code Security and verification of device Code. This is where you enter your security code you created for iCloud keychain and then enter the number of secondary authentication received (usually via SMS). This method for those who may have a backup plan for the first option. As in my case, I have the SMS authentication will my phone number and my wife's phone number. While my wife does not access my iCloud Keychain, I can use him as a point of authentication in case I'm not the #1 option.
In your case, you are clearly able to make both options with your iPhone because its iCloud authenticated in Keychain (already using the service) as well as put in place for the secondary SMS verification.
Well, I hope this explains why there are two options and that they could be used differently. At the end of the day, it allows multiple options for different scenarios.

Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click iCloud.
Click Options next to keychain.
Click on change the Security Code, and enter a new cryptogram iCloud.
My prefs do not show 'Options' beside keychain. (Keyring is enabled).

lost my iCloud security code help
Lost my iCloud Security Code, Help!
Are you talking about the access code specifically for your iOS device? The page you came here from - linked at the top of this page - tells you what it takes (basically delete the device).
But you said "iCloud", which has nothing to do with the password. You have 2 steps enabled audit? (Otherwise, the rest of this post is not relevant.) This requires you to have two of the three things - your password, a "trusted device" where code can be sent or received when you configure the recovery key. If you lose two of those three things no one can help you, including Apple. I hope you meant password, which means simply wipe the device and restore your data from your backup.

iCloud often ask a security code 4 digits. I have no idea what it is, my code is six digits. What is the 4 digit version and where I put or find it?
Have you implemented 2-step audit on your Apple ID? If you do this, then whenever you connect to icloud.com you are likely to be asked for the security code, which will be sent by SMS to your device of 'trust' - mainly the mobile phone you have registered with Apple.
The six-digit code that you think is probably the password in your iOS device, which is quite distinct.
