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.
