<h1><a href="../cli/npm-adduser.html">npm-adduser</a></h1> <p>Add a registry user account</p>
<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>
