npm-adduser - Add a registry user account
npm adduser [--registry=url] [--scope=@orgname] [--always-auth] [--auth-type=legacy]
aliases: login, add-user
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 7
npm-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.
Default: https://
The base URL of the npm package registry. If
scope is also specified,
this registry will only be used for packages with that scope.
scope
defaults to the scope of the project directory you're currently in, if any.
See npm help 7
npm-scope.
Default: none
If specified, the user and login credentials given will be associated with the
specified scope. See npm help 7
npm-scope. You can use both at the same
time, e.g.
npm adduser --registry=http://myregistry.example.com --scope=@myco
This will set a registry for the given scope and login or create a user for that
registry at the same time.
Default: false
If specified, save configuration indicating that all requests to the given
registry should include authorization information. Useful for private
registries. Can be used with
--registry and / or
--scope, e.g.
npm adduser --registry=http://private-registry.example.com --always-auth
This will ensure that all requests to that registry (including for tarballs)
include an authorization header. This setting may be necessary for use with
private registries where metadata and package tarballs are stored on hosts
with different hostnames. See
always-auth in npm help 7
npm-config for more details on always-auth. Registry-specific
configuration of
always-auth takes precedence over any global
configuration.
