# NAME
containers-auth.json - syntax for the registry authentication file
# DESCRIPTION
A credentials file stored at `${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json` in
json format used to authenticate against container image registries.
## FORMAT
The auth.json file stores encrypted authentication information for the
user to container image registries. The file can have zero to many entries and
is created by a `login` command from a container tool such as `podman login` or
`buildah login`. Each entry includes the name of the registry and then an auth
token in the form of a base64 encoded string from the concatenation of the
username, a colon, and the password.
The following example shows the values found in auth.json after the user logged in to
their accounts on quay.io and docker.io:
```
{
"auths": {
"docker.io": {
"auth": "erfi7sYi89234xJUqaqxgmzcnQ2rRFWM5aJX0EC="
},
"quay.io": {
"auth": "juQAqGmz5eR1ipzx8Evn6KGdw8fEa1w5MWczmgY="
}
}
}
```
An entry can be removed by using a `logout` command from a container
tool such as `podman logout` or `buildah logout`.
