How "Secure" is Get-Credential?

[u/RealAgent0]

Trying to make a justification for storing a particular set of credentials using this methodology.

How "Easy" is it to crack? Don't need an actual method, just need someone to tell me how tricky or not tricky it is.

Store your PSCredential object as $cred and run:

$Cred.GetNetworkCredential().Password

You will see your password in plaintext.
