1. Box # 1: Shows the Security Tab as currently selected.
2. Box # 2: Shows the Settings Menu that's currently selected. You can tell which Settings Menu is currently selected from the slim green line that appears to the LEFT of the Settings name.
3. Box # 3: Shows several settings related to User Passwords within Fluxx.
   1. Minimum Password Length: This feature controls the minimum required password length. Options range from 3-15 Characters, which includes all letters, numbers, and symbols (e.g. ^,*,&, etc.).
   2. Don't allow passwords to contain/match the login: Unchecking this box allows a password to match the user's sign in user name (i.e. Login name; at WPP this is the user's email address 99% of the time). If this box IS checked, then the password CANNOT contain the user's login within the password.
   3. Don't allow passwords to contain more than this number of repeated characters in a row: This feature controls the number of characters that can be repeated in a row within the password. Options range from 2-10 Repeated Characters ALLOWED within the password; any number of repeated characters that exceeds the number listed here will result in the password being declared invalid.
4. Box # 4: Shows several options relating to user's failing to enter their password correctly and a setting for the maximum duration that a password can be used for. 
   1. Number of failed login attempts before account lockout: This feature controls the number of times a user can incorrectly enter their password before their account is temporarily locked. Options range from 2-20 times.
   2. Account lockout ban duration: This feature controls the amount of time a user is temporarily locked out of their account for after entering their password incorrectly the required number of times. Options range from 0 minutes - 24 hours.
   3. Ensure the same password was not used within at least this number of changes: This feature controls how many password changes until a previous password can be used again. Options range from 2-10 Password Changes before an old password can be re-used.
   4. Maximum Password Age Policy: The number of days a password can be utilized before it expires. Options range from 30 - 120 days (or blank, i.e. no maximum number of days). When a password expires, the user will be required to set a new password.
5. Box # 5: Shows three checkboxes that can require certain characters to be used within the password that a user sets. If any of these checkboxes are checked and a user fails to include the character(s) specified in the checked checkbox, then the password will result as an invalid password when they attempt to set it.
   1. Uppercase letter (A through Z): As the name implies, this requires that the password contain at least 1 uppercase letter.
   2. Lowercase letter (a through z): As the name implies, this requires that the password contain at least 1 lowercase letter.
   3. Number (0 through 9): As the name implies, this requires that the password contain at least 1 number value (0 - 9).
6. Box # 6: Shows the Cancel button. Clicking on this button will Discard any unsaved changes made to the current settings menu.
7. Box # 7: Shows the Save button. If you've made any changes, you must hit the save button in order for your changes to be effectuated. Otherwise, your changes will be discarded.

The other security settings offer other options as well, but nothing particularly relevant to the WPP. See the Fluxx Security Settings article for more information on these.
