+**Dozzle** supports multi-user authentication by setting `--auth-provider` to `simple`. In this mode, Dozzle will attempt to read the users file from `/data/`, prioritizing `users.yml` over `users.yaml` if both files are present. If only one of the files exists, it will be used. The log will indicate which file is being read (e.g., `Reading users.yml file`).
