### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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 [`config`](/using-npm/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`
|
|
|
|
* Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
|
|
* Type: URL
|
|
|
|
The base URL of the npm registry.
|
|
|
|
#### `scope`
|
|
|
|
* Default: the scope of the current project, if any, or ""
|
|
* 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`
|
|
|
|
* Default: "web"
|
|
* 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`.
