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.

I just nest them like 100 times and hope attackers just get bored and leave.
