< h2 id = "synopsis" > SYNOPSIS< / h2 >
< pre > < code > npm adduser [--registry=url] [--scope=@orgname] [--always-auth]
< / code > < / pre > < h2 id = "description" > DESCRIPTION< / h2 >
< p > Create or verify a user named < code > < username> < / code > in the specified registry, and
save the credentials to the < code > .npmrc< / code > file. If no registry is specified,
the default registry will be used (see < code > < a href = "../misc/npm-config.html" > < a href = "../misc/npm-config.html" > npm-config(7)< / a > < / a > < / code > ).< / p >
< p > The username, password, and email are read in from prompts.< / p >
< p > To reset your password, go to < a href = "https://www.npmjs.com/forgot" > https://www.npmjs.com/forgot< / a > < / p >
< p > To change your email address, go to < a href = "https://www.npmjs.com/email-edit" > https://www.npmjs.com/email-edit< / a > < / p >
< p > 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.< / p >
< p > < code > npm login< / code > is an alias to < code > adduser< / code > and behaves exactly the same way.< / p >
< h2 id = "configuration" > CONFIGURATION< / h2 >
< h3 id = "registry" > registry< / h3 >
< p > Default: < a href = "http://registry.npmjs.org/" > http://registry.npmjs.org/< / a > < / p >
< p > The base URL of the npm package registry. If < code > scope< / code > is also specified,
this registry will only be used for packages with that scope. See < code > < a href = "../misc/npm-scope.html" > < a href = "../misc/npm-scope.html" > npm-scope(7)< / a > < / a > < / code > .< / p >
< h3 id = "scope" > scope< / h3 >
< p > Default: none< / p >
< p > If specified, the user and login credentials given will be associated
with the specified scope. See < code > < a href = "../misc/npm-scope.html" > < a href = "../misc/npm-scope.html" > npm-scope(7)< / a > < / a > < / code > . You can use both at the same time,
e.g.< / p >
< pre > < code > npm adduser --registry=http://myregistry.example.com --scope=@myco
< / code > < / pre > < p > This will set a registry for the given scope and login or create a user for
that registry at the same time.< / p >
< h3 id = "always-auth" > always-auth< / h3 >
< p > Default: false< / p >
< p > If specified, save configuration indicating that all requests to the given
registry should include authorization information. Useful for private
registries. Can be used with < code > --registry< / code > and / or < code > --scope< / code > , e.g.< / p >
< pre > < code > npm adduser --registry=http://private-registry.example.com --always-auth
< / code > < / pre > < p > This will ensure that all requests to that registry (including for tarballs)
include an authorization header. See < code > always-auth< / code > in < code > < a href = "../misc/npm-config.html" > < a href = "../misc/npm-config.html" > npm-config(7)< / a > < / a > < / code > for more
details on always-auth. Registry-specific configuration of < code > always-auth< / code > takes
precedence over any global configuration.< / p >
