SYNOPSIS

podman login [options] registry

DESCRIPTION

podman login authenticates with container registries. Credentials are stored in an auth file (default: `${XDGRUNTIMEDIR}/containers/auth.json`) for subsequent pulls and pushes. If no registry is specified, the first registry under `[registries.search]` from `registries.conf` is used.
Supports Docker Hub, Quay.io, GitHub Container Registry, and private registries.

-p, --password pass

--password-stdin
Read password from stdin.
--tls-verify
Require HTTPS and verify TLS certificates when contacting registries (default: true).
--authfile file
Path to the authentication file (default: `${XDGRUNTIMEDIR}/containers/auth.json`).
--cert-dir path
Use TLS certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the registry.
--compat-auth-file path
Write credentials to path in Docker-compatible format.
--get-login
Return the logged-in user for the registry. Returns an error if no login is found.
--secret name
