Replacement for npm login

Simulates npm login command behavior, supporting only legacy authentication with a username and password.

Motivation

  • Npm encounters an issue with usernames containing "non-url-safe" characters, displaying a "Name may not contain non-url-safe chars" warning and prompting for a new username. The previously suggested workaround is no longer working. While Yarn avoids this bug, installing it solely for authentication is inconvenient and cumbersome.

  • Eliminate the need to install npm for authentication, for example when using alternative runtimes like Bun.

Install

Using uv:

uv tool install npm-login
~/.local/bin/npm-login --help

Using pip:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
# Or with fish:
# source .venv/bin/activate.fish
pip install npm-login
npm-login --help
