Man1 - npm-adduser.1

    npm adduser [--registry=url] [--scope=@orgname] [--auth-type=legacy]

    aliases: login, add-user

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.

Create or verify a user named <username> in the specified registry, and save the credentials to the * .npmrc* file. If no registry is specified, the default registry will be used (see npm help config).

The username, password, and email are read in from prompts.

To reset your password, go to https://www.npmjs.com/forgot

To change your email address, go to https://www.npmjs.com/email-edit

You may use this command multiple times with the same user account to authorize on a new machine. When authenticating on a new machine, the username, password and email address must all match with your existing record.

npm login is an alias to adduser and behaves exactly the same way.

<!– AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS START –> <!– automatically generated, do not edit manually –> <!– see lib/utils/config/definitions.js –>

• Default: “https://registry.npmjs.org/”
• Type: URL

The base URL of the npm registry. <!– automatically generated, do not edit manually –> <!– see lib/utils/config/definitions.js –>

• Default: the scope of the current project, if any, or “”
• Type: String

Associate an operation with a scope for a scoped registry.

Useful when logging in to or out of a private registry:

    # log in, linking the scope to the custom registry
    npm login --scope=@mycorp --registry=https://registry.mycorp.com

    # log out, removing the link and the auth token
    npm logout --scope=@mycorp

This will cause @mycorp to be mapped to the registry for future installation of packages specified according to the pattern @mycorp/package .

This will also cause npm init to create a scoped package.

    # accept all defaults, and create a package named "@foo/whatever",
    # instead of just named "whatever"
    npm init --scope=@foo --yes
