13   Description
14       Verify  a  user  in the specified registry, and save the credentials to
15       the .npmrc file. If no registry is specified, the default registry will
16       be used (see npm help config).
17
18       When  using  legacy  for your auth-type, the username and password, are
19       read in from prompts.
20
21       To reset your password, go to ⟨https://www.npmjs.com/forgot⟩
22
23       To change your email address, go to ⟨https://www.npmjs.com/email-edit⟩

25       You may use this command multiple times with the same user  account  to

29
30   Configuration
31   registry
32       •   Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
33
34       •   Type: URL
35
36
37       The base URL of the npm registry.
38
39   scope
40       •   Default: the scope of the current project, if any, or ""
41
42       •   Type: String
43
44
45       Associate an operation with a scope for a scoped registry.
46
47       Useful when logging in to or out of a private registry:
48
49         # log in, linking the scope to the custom registry
50         npm login --scope=@mycorp --registry=https://registry.mycorp.com
51
52         # log out, removing the link and the auth token
53         npm logout --scope=@mycorp
54
55       This will cause @mycorp to be mapped to the registry for future instal‐
56       lation of packages specified according to the pattern @mycorp/package.
57
58       This will also cause npm init to create a scoped package.
59
60         # accept all defaults, and create a package named "@foo/whatever",
61         # instead of just named "whatever"
62         npm init --scope=@foo --yes
63
64   auth-type
65       •   Default: "web"
66
67       •   Type: "legacy" or "web"
68
69
70       What authentication strategy to use with login. Note  that  if  an  otp
71       config is given, this value will always be set to legacy.
