I was annoyed to find tha the NPM website lets you generate auth tokens manually, but does not provide any instructions on how to configure them in your local workspace. The only instructions are to give your username and password to npm login, which will then configure our workspace.

But all npm login does is pop the token into some annoyingly undocumented config fields in ~.npmrc. You can just as easily do this manually, if you would rather not type your password into a terminal script.

Log in to the NPM website and generate an auth token.
Put it in your ~/.npmrc file like so:

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=YOUR-TOKEN-WOULD-GO-HERE

	* A lightweight seedable RNG for generating low-quality random numbers.
	*
	* I find this mostly useful in testing and Storybook, where I want to
	* repeatably generate a sequence of random numbers, but I don't need
	* cryptographically strong randomness. It's only useful in those
	* circumstances. Otherwise...
	*
	* - If it doesn't need to be repeatable, just use JS's native "Math.random()"
	* - If it needs to be cryptographically strong, import a reliable PRNG package
