# npm-logout

Log out of the registry

## SYNOPSIS

    npm logout [--registry=url] [--scope=@orgname]

## DESCRIPTION

When logged into a registry that supports token-based authentication, tell the server to end this token's session. This will invalidate the token everywhere you're using it, not just for the current environment.

When logged into a legacy registry that uses username and password authentication, this will clear the credentials in your user configuration. In this case, it will only affect the current environment.

If `--scope` is provided, this will find the credentials for the registry connected to that scope, if set.

## CONFIGURATION

### registry

Default: http://registry.npmjs.org/

The base URL of the npm package registry. If `scope` is also specified, it takes precedence.

### scope

Default: none

If specified, the user and login credentials given will be associated with the specified scope. See `npm-scope(7)`. You can use both at the same time, e.g.

    npm adduser --registry=http://myregistry.example.com --scope=@myco

This will set a registry for the given scope and login or create a user for that registry at the same time.
