How to set up a person who can generate a recovery code for my Apple ID's password.

I should be able to set up a person with an Apple product as a back up who can generate a recovery code should I forget/lose/screw up my password and lose access to my account. Choices in Privacy and Security include " +" , but I am unable to add a person, only iCloud.

Support pages do not help me with this.

Side issue: If you click that the article was not helpful, the box in which to say why is greyed out. Seems to be an easy way to avoid helping users.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6
