Unable to manage Recovery Contact on Apple ID after notification

I have received notification that Recovery contact was added to my account.

I see (1) but can't open or delete it.


Only received notification that someone added it, but can't find it, delete it, or validate it.

Found it.


Even though account is used on 3 devices, i had to login to Mac ( probably from where the request was sent )


There I saw 1 (pending) request which was never accepted.
