+## Sharing passwords
+
+Rofi-pass allows you to easily share common used passwords across multiple entries.
+
+
+For example, if you have an academic account which includes several services (such as a library, Salary, Student portal etc), all with different URL's, login forms etc. you can share one password across all of them. This is very handy when the passwords changes annually.
+
+To use this function you need to add the following line instead of the password, referencing the file which holds the password
+
+```
+#FILE=PATH/to/filename
+```
