You have a "master" password. Just one. It's what you use to access your account via the web. It's a "full access" login (there's no such thng as "restricted" logins anymore, except during the transition period where existing "Alternative Logins" continue to work. I've written more about restricted logins below).

From the web interface, you can access the new "Password & Security" screen. This asks for your password before you can make any changes (the "master" password - you only have one).

Here, you can, if you choose, add and verify a recovery method - either an email address or SMS number. This will be used to help you recover your account should you ever lose access to it (lost password and/or second factors).
Has this gone live?
I'm not seeing any option to add SMS as a recovery method?
