Text message forwarding stopped working, option in Settings gone

Woke up to yet another service mysteriously turned off. My Mac couldn't send SMS anymore. Went into iOS Settings and iMessage was turned right off. Same on Mac, even though I made an app-specific password for it a day ago.


As for the iPhone, the settings for Text Message Forwarding are gone completely from the Messages settings.

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3

Even though I signed in to iMessage, apparently you have to go to "Send & Receive", and sign in to iMessage again there. This time it told me to use an app-specific password, which I had to generate and copy through the website it opened in Safari. After that, the forwarding setting is visible.
