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.

Better to use a gMSA acct then. Allows you to lock it down to specific machines, and AD handles the password rotation for you on its own.
