 ```yaml
 - name: Log in to Red Hat Registry
-  run: echo "${{ secrets.REGISTRY_REDHAT_IO_PASSWORD }}" | docker login registry.redhat.io -u "${{ secrets.REGISTRY_REDHAT_IO_USER }}" --password-stdin
+  uses: redhat-action/podman-login@v1
+  with:
+    registry: registry.redhat.io
+    username: ${{ secrets.REGISTRY_REDHAT_IO_USER }}
+    password: ${{ secrets.REGISTRY_REDHAT_IO_PASSWORD }}
