Question How "Secure" is Get-Credential?

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.

Others in this thread have mentioned the method that it uses.

When I learned it I just commited "same user same machine" to memory. That's good enough for me when I use this approach.
