Add a registry user account |
npm adduser [--registry=url] [--scope=@orgname] [--auth-type=legacy]
aliases: login, add-userNote: 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 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://registry.npmjs.org/
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 scope.
Default: none
If specified, the user and login credentials given will be associated
with the specified scope. See scope. You can use both at the same time,
e.g.
npm adduser --registry=http://myregistry.example.com --scope=@mycoThis will set a registry for the given scope and login or create a user for that registry at the same time.
- Default:
'legacy' - Type:
'legacy','sso','saml','oauth'
What authentication strategy to use with adduser/login. Some npm registries
(for example, npmE) might support alternative auth strategies besides classic
username/password entry in legacy npm.
