The "Secret" part here should be something more unique. Possibly something like $"Secret for computer {computerKey}"

That makes sense, I'll adjust that

This class is added to provide a different encryption method for hiding the secret key, locally, on the client machine. The "Protect" and "UnProtect" methods are used for encrypting and decrypting the secret key using the machine key, instead of using RSA.

The "Secret" here should match the one you changed in "SetConfigValue" - It shouldn't work if they are different.

Ahh, I missed that. I edited the function call to match in a145cf0 and it seems to be functioning now.

I promise I'm gonna stop leaving this comment after this, but...

please keep thinking about it as you look at this PR in total, even though I've stopped commenting.

This is a nice, tight pull request - way to go. The only thing I'd look at is removing the commented out parts. You can always find them again using git history.
