npm-logout

removes authentication token

TLDR

Logout from npm

$ npm logout

Logout from specific registry

$ npm logout --registry=[https://registry.example.com]

Logout from scope

$ npm logout --scope=[@myorg]

npm logout invalidates and removes the authentication token for the configured registry. For tokens issued by npm login, the registry is also notified to revoke the token server-side. The local .npmrc entry for the registry is then deleted.When the configured auth was a legacy username/password (basic auth), only the local credential is removed — there is nothing to revoke on the server.

PARAMETERS

--registry URL

Registry to logout from.

--scope SCOPE

Scoped registry.

--help

Display help information.

INSTALL

sudo pacman -S npm

sudo apk add npm

brew install npm

CAVEATS

Operates on a single registry at a time; pass --registry or --scope to log out of a non-default registry. Subsequent npm publish or npm install of private packages will fail until you log in again. Tokens stored manually in .npmrc (e.g., `_authToken=...`) without a matching server-side credential will be removed locally but cannot be revoked.

HISTORY

npm logout provides authentication management for npm registry access.
