# npm-logout(1)
## Log out of the registry
### Synopsis
```bash
npm logout [--registry=<url>] [--scope=<@scope>]
```
### 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: https://registry.npmjs.org/
The base URL of the npm package registry. If `scope` is also specified,
it takes precedence.
#### scope
Default: The scope of your current project, if any, otherwise none.
If specified, you will be logged out of the specified scope. See [`scope`](/using-npm/npm-scope).
```bash
npm logout --scope=@myco
```
