Does Windows Admin Center protect Domain Administrator passwords

I would like to manage my core Windows 2016 domain controllers using Windows Admin Center. As you can't install WAC on a domain controller, I must use my PC or a nearby server.

My question is whether I am exposing my domain admin credentials accessing these core domain controllers while using WAC? How is the password protected and disposed of after my WAC session ends?

Thanks for your advice.

There should not be any security issues with this but you might want to ask here in dedicated WAC forum.
