NAME
npm-login - Login to a registry user account
Synopsis
npm login
Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
Description
Verify a user 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).
When using legacy for your auth-type, the username and password, 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.
Configuration
registry
o Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
o Type: URL
The base URL of the npm registry.
scope
o Default: the scope of the current project, if any, or ""
o Type: String
Associate an operation with a scope for a scoped registry.
Useful when logging in to or out of a private registry:
# log in, linking the scope to the custom registry
npm login --scope=@mycorp --registry=https://registry.mycorp.com
# log out, removing the link and the auth token
npm logout --scope=@mycorp
This will cause @mycorp to be mapped to the registry for future
installation of packages specified according to the pattern
@mycorp/package.
This will also cause npm init to create a scoped package.
# accept all defaults, and create a package named "@foo/whatever",
# instead of just named "whatever"
npm init --scope=@foo --yes
auth-type
o Default: "web"
o Type: "legacy" or "web"
What authentication strategy to use with login. Note that if an otp
config is given, this value will always be set to legacy.
