Perhaps it's not set up yet as I thought we wre getting alternative logins and our current ones would not work.
No. That's for Alternative logins, not Recovery.

Read Rob's post again for yourself.
It says:
Quote:
"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)."
Then try it for yourself.
It doesn't work as described.
When you log into the Security section, where Rob says "Here, you can, if you choose, add and verify a recovery method - either an email address or SMS number".
In that screen, there is only the option to add an email address - there is no option to add a number for Recovery assistance via SMS.

In the next screen that you describe - which is for Alternative Logins - there is a field for entering a phone number for 2F SMS.
This is not Recovery, this is 2F login. Different things.
