5---

7### Synopsis
8
9```bash
10npm logout
11```
12
13Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
14
15### Description
16
17When logged into a registry that supports token-based authentication, tell
18the server to end this token's session. This will invalidate the token
19everywhere you're using it, not just for the current environment.
20
21When logged into a legacy registry that uses username and password
22authentication, this will clear the credentials in your user configuration.
23In this case, it will _only_ affect the current environment.
24
25If `--scope` is provided, this will find the credentials for the registry
26connected to that scope, if set.
27
28### Configuration
29
30#### `registry`
31
32* Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
33* Type: URL
34
35The base URL of the npm registry.
36
37
38
39#### `scope`
40
41* Default: the scope of the current project, if any, or ""
42* Type: String
43
44Associate an operation with a scope for a scoped registry.
45
46Useful when logging in to or out of a private registry:
47
48```
49# log in, linking the scope to the custom registry
50npm login --scope=@mycorp --registry=https://registry.mycorp.com
51
52# log out, removing the link and the auth token
53npm logout --scope=@mycorp
54```
55
56This will cause `@mycorp` to be mapped to the registry for future
57installation of packages specified according to the pattern
58`@mycorp/package`.
59
60This will also cause `npm init` to create a scoped package.
61
62```
63# accept all defaults, and create a package named "@foo/whatever",
64# instead of just named "whatever"
65npm init --scope=@foo --yes
66```
