NAME

       npm-adduser - Add a registry user account

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

         aliases: login, add-user

   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 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.

   Configuration
   registry
       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 npm help scope.

   scope
       Default: none

       If specified, the user and login credentials given will be associated with the specified scope.  See  npm
       help 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.

   always-auth
       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  config  for  more  details  on
       always-auth.   Registry-specific   configuration   of   always-auth  takes  precedence  over  any  global
       configuration.

   auth-type
       • 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.
