Is the proxy password encrypted or hashed?

The proxy settings page states that when explicitly configured, the password is encrypted:

choco config set proxyPassword <passwordThatGetsEncryptedInFile> # optional

https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/wiki/Proxy-Settings-for-Chocolatey#explicit-proxy-settings

To be precise, is it really encrypted or hashed?
