I have set up two-factor authentication on my iPhone as a security setting, however, just to be safe (in case I ever lose access to this phone/number) I'd also like to set up a rescue email.
Unfortunately, once I set the 2FA, the option to set a rescue email has disappeared from the menu.
My question is, where can I find this option?

"Most people have a notification email address instead of a rescue email address. Apple uses this to send you important account and security related information. If you don't use two-factor authentication or two-step verification (learn how to check what security method you use), you have the option to add a rescue email address to your account for more security. You can see it when you sign in to your Apple ID account page."

How do I set a rescue email for my AppleID after I have set up 2-factor authentication?
