 # == Usage
 #
+# If you have a plain-text password and you would like it be to be encrypted and added to the htpasswd file
 # Set clear password='mypass' to user 'my_user' on default htpasswd file:
 # apache::htpasswd { 'myuser':
 #   clear_password => 'my_pass',
 # }
 #
+# If you have a password which has already been encrypted, which you would like to add to the htpasswd file
 # Set crypted password to user 'my_user' on custom htpasswd file:
 # apache::htpasswd { 'myuser':
 #   crypt_password => 'B5dPQYYjf.jjA',
 #   htpasswd_file  => '/etc/httpd/users.passwd',
 # }
 #
+#
+# If you have a plain-text password and you would like it be added to the htpasswd file as is without encryption
+# Set clear password='mypass' to user 'my_user' on default htpasswd file:
+# apache::htpasswd { 'myuser':
+#   crypt_password => 'my_pass',
+# }
+#
 # Set the same user in different files 
 # apache::htpasswd { 'myuser':
 #   crypt_password => 'password1',
