I've found via trial and error that the Validation number for generating new URL login strings should be bigger than Minimum validation number allowed for valid login but i don't understand what they mean. A clearification would be great.

Am i right that this settings are for the expiration of old links so i can set the minimum number over the before defined Validation number for generating new URL login strings to expire them?

From this issue: https://www.drupal.org/node/1369722

The first of the two strings is used for creating new tokens. The second sets how old tokens can be for them to be accepted.

The form wording is very vague.

I've made a bunch of fixes to the documentation on the form for these two fields.

In particular, I changed the name of 'Minimum validation number' to be 'Minimum permitted number'

Patch file coming soon in another issue.
