12 <h1><a href="../cli/npm-adduser.html">npm-adduser</a></h1> <p>Add a registry user account</p>
13 <h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
14 <pre><code>npm adduser [--registry=url] [--scope=@orgname] [--always-auth]
15 </code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
16 <p>Create or verify a user named <code><username></code> in the specified registry, and
17 save the credentials to the <code>.npmrc</code> file. If no registry is specified,
18 the default registry will be used (see <code><a href="../misc/npm-config.html">npm-config(7)</a></code>).</p>
19 <p>The username, password, and email are read in from prompts.</p>
20 <p>To reset your password, go to <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/forgot">https://www.npmjs.com/forgot</a></p>
21 <p>To change your email address, go to <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/email-edit">https://www.npmjs.com/email-edit</a></p>
22 <p>You may use this command multiple times with the same user account to
23 authorize on a new machine. When authenticating on a new machine,
24 the username, password and email address must all match with
25 your existing record.</p>
26 <p><code>npm login</code> is an alias to <code>adduser</code> and behaves exactly the same way.</p>
27 <h2 id="configuration">CONFIGURATION</h2>
28 <h3 id="registry">registry</h3>
29 <p>Default: <a href="http://registry.npmjs.org/">http://registry.npmjs.org/</a></p>
30 <p>The base URL of the npm package registry. If <code>scope</code> is also specified,
31 this registry will only be used for packages with that scope. See <code><a href="../misc/npm-scope.html">npm-scope(7)</a></code>.</p>
32 <h3 id="scope">scope</h3>
34 <p>If specified, the user and login credentials given will be associated
35 with the specified scope. See <code><a href="../misc/npm-scope.html">npm-scope(7)</a></code>. You can use both at the same time,
37 <pre><code>npm adduser --registry=http://myregistry.example.com --scope=@myco
38 </code></pre><p>This will set a registry for the given scope and login or create a user for
39 that registry at the same time.</p>
40 <h3 id="always-auth">always-auth</h3>
42 <p>If specified, save configuration indicating that all requests to the given
43 registry should include authorization information. Useful for private
44 registries. Can be used with <code>--registry</code> and / or <code>--scope</code>, e.g.</p>
45 <pre><code>npm adduser --registry=http://private-registry.example.com --always-auth
46 </code></pre><p>This will ensure that all requests to that registry (including for tarballs)
47 include an authorization header. See <code>always-auth</code> in <code><a href="../misc/npm-config.html">npm-config(7)</a></code> for more
48 details on always-auth. Registry-specific configuration of <code>always-auth</code> takes
49 precedence over any global configuration.</p>
