+#### **--authfile**=*path*
+
+Path of the authentication file. Default is `${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json`, which is set using **[podman login](podman-login.1.md)**.
+If the authorization state is not found there, `$HOME/.docker/config.json` is checked, which is set using **docker login**.
+
+Note: There is also the option to override the default path of the authentication file by setting the `REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE` environment variable. This can be done with **export REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=_path_**.
