Well, it’s been a long time since I messed with Secure Containers. The best way to know for sure is try it in-game on a Small Secure Container and then update this thread with the results.

Anyway, I’ll try to answer your questions as best as I can remember.

1. **Are the container passwords cap sensitive?**  
Not sure but I think they are.

2. **Can you use symbols/characters in the password?**  
Again, not sure but I think yes.

3. **Do you have to configure the container after setting the password to lock everyone out of it?**  
No, after setting the password and anchoring it, the container will be locked to anyone who tries to open it

4. **Do you have to have a seperate password for Configuration Password or does the Set New Password set all the password for the container?**  
Set new password should delete old passwords.

5. **Why does the secure container not lock out the character that set the password?**  
I think it’s probably a QoL thing, allowing you easy access to it as long as you remain on-grid with it within a specific distance.

6. **These should be like safes, right? Were once it is locked, every time you want in it you need to enter the password!?**  
Yeah, maybe the tumbler just needs to be spun for it to lock again, probably happens automatically when you leave the grid.

7. **Why is there no videos or post about how to do this already?**  
That’s a very good question. Guess you’re now elected to do it. 😉
