How do I remove the password vault's password?

Bertilak

I'm tired of entering the password vault's password.  It is unnecessary since my computer is already password protected and no one but me can get into it to run Quicken.

You can't remove the password vault's password.

Yes, you can indeed remove the Password Vault's Password, but you must first remove the Stored Passwords, first. Or you can simply Delete Vault and all Saved Passwords.

Then when you click on One Step Update, you must enter your passwords or pins, manually. If you choose to save the Passwords, you need a Vault Password.

You can't store your Passwords, without a Vault Password.

What if I delete (or reset?) the PW vault and re-create it. Can I get through that process without establishing a password?

Evidently, regardless of how secure your computer may or may not be, Quicken feels it is their responsibility to encrypt and password protect the Password Vault to the extent, even Quicken has no means of undoing a lost/forgotten password.

I use a password manager and it will fill in the Password Vault's password for me.
