Are Credentials Encrypted when saved to PowerBi.com Data refresh?

I'm looing to confirm that when I save credentials to the Data Source for refreshing, that they are encrypted.

 

In this case I'm accessing Azure Data Lakes Gen1 and need to confirm they're encrypted.  Link to the documentation stating so would be appreciated

As far as I know all data is encrypted, even when viewing it in your browser via SSL
