Password Vault

MSStateDawg

Simple question emanating from my Password Vault ignince (regional phoenetic spelling…apologies).

All entries in my Password Vault show "Not required" under the Password Stored column. Does this mean that I no longer need the Password Vault and can remove all of the entries?

I would really enjoy the removal of that extra password entry before updating accounts.

Yes, if all of them say "Not required" you can just delete the password vault.

These days only accounts setup with Direct Connect use the Password Vault.

This is the most beautiful response I've received on this site. Vault removed. Absolute bliss.

Hum, I must have missed something along the way….

@Chris_QPW are you saying my 20 accounts at 3 financial institutions that have no stored passwords in my vault will all be updated at once only by selecting One Step Update with no vault created or present?

As long as they aren't setup with Direct Connect, yes that is true.

For Express Web Connect the username and password are stored on the Intuit server.

For Express Web Connect + they don't use a username and password. When setting it up you tell the financial institution (by logging into their site) to allow Intuit to log in using a rotating security token.

Direct Connect accounts haven't changed and the username and password are stored in the Password Vault.

@Chris_QPW So all my accounts are Express Web Connect thus the vault isn't necessary to download all accounts at one time. What benefit is it to delete the vault, if any?

The benefit of deleting it is that you won't be prompted to enter the password to do One Step Update.

I should note that it will still take you do the One Step Update Settings dialog before actually doing the One Step Update and is still not "one click". It would really be nice if they just skipped this when there is no need.
