 ## Setting a user's password
 
 sops-nix has to run after NixOS creates users (in order to specify what users own a secret.)
-This means that it's not possible to set `users.users.<name>.passwordFile` to any secrets managed by sops-nix.
+This means that it's not possible to set `users.users.<name>.hashedPasswordFile` to any secrets managed by sops-nix.
 To work around this issue, it's possible to set `neededForUsers = true` in a secret.
 This will cause the secret to be decrypted to `/run/secrets-for-users` instead of `/run/secrets` before NixOS creates users.
 As users are not created yet, it's not possible to set an owner for these secrets.
