I am trying to activate ADP but it will never turn on wit just a recovery contact and without the recovery key.

I added my sister as a recovery contact a few months ago and it worked but checking it now it seems it is put as "not available"? Is this the reason why ADP will not turn on? If I activate ADP with a recovery key and lose it, can I still recover my account with a recovery contact or do you need both verification methods?

I am lost with this feature. By the way, I only know my devices passcode but I do not know my Apple ID password by heart (it is stored in my keychain and printed on a stealth document that I keep home). Would you say this is enough protection and in case of me losing my devices I should be safe to recover my account?
