npm adduser(1) -- Add a registry user account
=============================================

## SYNOPSIS

    npm adduser bob password bob@email.com

## DESCRIPTION

Create a user named "bob" in the npm registry, and save the credentials to the
`.npmrc` file. Note that this leaves the password in your `.bash_history`, and
it is currently stored in the clear in the config file. So, don't use a
password you care too much about.

For now, if you somehow break your `.npmrc` file, and have forgotten your
password, you're boned. [Email isaacs](mailto:i@izs.me) and he'll delete the
record from the registry so that you can re-add it.

If you break your `.npmrc` file, but you remember your password, you can put your
user auth back by using the `base64` program like so:

    npm config set auth $( echo user:pass | base64 )
