Note: This command is unaware of workspaces\.
.SS Description
.P
Create or verify a user named \fB<username>\fP in the specified registry, and
save the credentials to the \fB\|\.npmrc\fP file\. If no registry is specified,
the default registry will be used (see npm help \fBconfig\fP)\.
.P
The username, password, and email are read in from prompts\.
.P
To reset your password, go to https://www\.npmjs\.com/forgot
.P
To change your email address, go to https://www\.npmjs\.com/email\-edit
.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
\fBnpm login\fP is an alias to \fBadduser\fP and behaves exactly the same way\.
.SS Configuration
.SS registry
.P
Default: https://registry\.npmjs\.org/
.P
The base URL of the npm package registry\. If \fBscope\fP is also specified,
this registry will only be used for packages with that scope\. \fBscope\fP defaults
to the scope of the project directory you're currently in, if any\. See npm help \fBscope\fP\|\.
.SS scope
.P
Default: none
.P
If specified, the user and login credentials given will be associated
with the specified scope\. See npm help \fBscope\fP\|\. You can use both at the same time,
e\.g\.
.P
.RS 2
.nf
npm adduser \-\-registry=http://myregistry\.example\.com \-\-scope=@myco
