Easy user account switching for those with multiple npm environments

npm-user-switch

Easily switch NPM user accounts

About

Both my work and my personal development utilise NPM accounts. Sometimes I need to easily switch between them, and entering their different passwords is tiresome. Using npm-user-switch, I can easily use one master password to manage logging in to any number of accounts.

The account information is encrypted using Buttercup and stored locally. No account passwords are stored - only the auth token provided by NPM (stored by NPM in .npmrc in your home directory).

Installation

npm-user-switch should be installed globally:

npm install npm-user-switch -g

You may need sudo for the above command to work on some systems.

Usage

Simply execute npm-user-switch to start the program.

npm-user-switch's Issues

Bypass password?

Is it possible to bypass the password input? I switch accounts very often during the day and it gets very tedious to re-type it every time.

By the way, this is an awesome module, really helps me jump around between 3 different accounts and makes my life a lot easier. Really appreciate it.

Error when no .npmrc exists

On windows using MINGW through Vscode:

A fatal error has occurred: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\x\.npmrc'

The file doesn't exist.

Add support for showing which account is in use.

Thank you for your project, it is really useful for me.

Can you add a future for showing which account is in use?
Mostly, I think I know that I am using one account but not quite sure about that, so if I can check it, it will save me lots of time for typing the password and choosing the account.

Thank you so much.

How to delete an account?

Hey, first let me thank you for this app. It's sooo useful when I need to switch between my personnal and society NPM account 👍

After ESLint virus, npm decided to revoke all tokens as a security measure.

I wanted to delete and re-add all accounts into npm-user-switch, but I don't find a way to delete thoses accounts.

Does this feature exist?

Thanks
