When on my computer it says if I delete Vault, I would have to put back all my passwords for banks, etc.

The answers here says it will not. Which is correct please

Deleting the PW Vault deletes PWs for financial institutions connected with Direct Connect.

This will affect OSU only.
It will not deactivate the DC connection.
After deleting the PW Vault, if you want to include your DC accounts in OSU you will first need to set up a new PW Vault and enter the logins for the DC financial institutions that are already set up with DC.
Or when you run OSU you can manually enter the PWs (Quicken will prompt you if you still have the DC financial institutions set up to be included in OSU).
Or you can run Update Now for each DC financial institution and you will the be prompted to enter the PW.

Deleting the PW Vault will not affect your EWC and EWC+ connected financial institutions at all because EWC logins and EWC+ tokens are not saved in the data file but are instead saved on Quicken-hosted servers (Intuit's servers?). If you open the PW Vault you will see these financial institutions will show "Not Required" in the Password Stored column.

Does this answer your question?
