As far as I know from McAfee Security Center update password vault has removed but you don’t have to worry about passwords because McAfee Security Center makes data files of your save d passwords and other stuffs in its own folder and it will not be get deleted after updating the McAfee Security Center. it means if you have updated your McAfee Security Center and if you are looking for your passwords then you will recover that by using Password Retrieval Tool.
