Recovery Key

A long time ago (don't remember when) got a Recovery Key for my Apple ID which I still have saved. When I look at my iPhone under "Password & Security" I see Recovery Key is OFF while Two-Factor Authentication is on. My question is would the Security Key I got long ago still work even though the Recovery Key option is off? Also should I turn the Recovery Key On & (I assume) get a new Recovery Key.
