|
description: Add a registry user account
|
|

|
|
|
### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm adduser [--registry=url] [--scope=@orgname] [--auth-type=legacy]
|
|
|
|
aliases: login, add-user
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
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 [`config`](/using-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.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
<!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS START -->
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
#### `registry`
|
|
|
|
* 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 -->
|
|
|
|
#### `scope`
|
|
|
|
* 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
<!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS END -->
