NAME

       npm-adduser - Add a registry user account

SYNOPSIS

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

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 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.

CONFIGURATION

   registry
       Default: http://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. See npm help 7 npm-scope.

   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.

   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.  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.
