"Is the lich's phylactery one of the six to my left?" This will eliminate half of the possibilities. "Is the lich's phylactery one of the three in front of me?" This will eliminate another half of the possibilities, leaving three remaining. "Is the lich's phylactery the one I am touching now?" This has a 33% chance to get it right.
Part of the ritual involves murdering people to make it, and in the end you drink a specially-prepared magical potion of super evil that kills you and binds your soul to the phylactery. Earlier editions did have various non-evil liches, like the archlich and FR's baelnorn (elven liches that weren't evil).
The phylactery must be on the same plane as the lich for the spell to work. A lich's phylactery can hold only one creature at a time. A lich does not have to put souls into its phylactery. As a side note, the lich does not have to put souls into the phylactery, only if it
A lich's phylactery can hold only one creature at a time, and a dispel magic cast as a 9th-level spell upon the phylactery releases any creature imprisoned within it. A creature imprisoned in the phylactery for 24 hours is consumed and destroyed utterly, whereupon nothing short of divine intervention can restore it to life.

A phylactery in real life is something entirely different to a lich’s phylactery in dnd. For the DnD phylactery: it is very simple. A lich’s phylactery is a container for a person’s soul. When the soul is placed inside, the phylactery is now the real “body” of the person. This is what makes a lich.
The Lich cannot have multiple phylacteries active simultaneously. They can't use the original ritual to create a new phylactery after their first is destroyed, so must find a different ritual (if it is even possible to do). If it is possible finding this ritual will be difficult (and potentially need to be performed on a clock).
An average longsword has a finished weight of around 1.5 kg — but typical generates an additional 0.75 kg of waste. That means we'll need 2.25 kg of workable iron to make the sword. 2,250 grams of workable iron, factoring for the ratio of impurities, means we'll need 9,407.25 grams of raw material — of blood-iron sand — to start.
