+## Bypass Salt/Passphrase
+
+In some cases, you might want to bypass the salt/passphrase prompt. You can do this by setting the bypass_salt parameter to True when you create an instance of the SelfHash class.
+
+Here's an example:
+
+```python
+
+# Hash: INSERT_HASH_HERE
+import selfhash
+
+hasher = selfhash.SelfHash(bypass_salt=True)
+hasher.hash(__file__)
+```
+
+When you set `bypass_salt` to `True`, the hash method will not prompt you for a salt/passphrase and will calculate the hash based only on your script's code. This can be useful in automated environments where user input is not possible.
+
+Note: If you bypass the salt/passphrase, you won't be able to use a salt/passphrase for the hash calculation. If you've previously run the hash method with a salt/passphrase, the hash will be different when you bypass the salt/passphrase, and the script will fail the verification. Be sure to use the same bypass_salt setting every time you run the script.

 ## Verifying The SelfHash Module
 
 To ensure the integrity of the SelfHash module itself, we provide a script named `verify_self.py`. This script uses SelfHash to verify the hash of the `selfhash/selfhash.py` file.
