[BUG] npm login/add-user --scope=@myScope do not set the scope on the .npmrc file

[NachoAccedo]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

From https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/commands/npm-adduser

Trying to login on a private artifactory with a defined scope do not set the scope on the ~/.npmrc file, i.e

npm login --scope=@myScope --registry https://myArtifactory

Generated ~/.npmrc

//myArtifactory/:_authToken=**

Expected Behavior

For the npm npm login --scope=@myScope --registry https://myArtifactory
command, we expect the next generated ~/.npmrc file

myScope=https://myArtifactory/
//myArtifactory/:_authToken=**

Steps To Reproduce

npm login --scope=@Myscope --registry https://myArtifactory

Environment

• OS: OSX 11.4 Big Sur
• Node: v16.4.1
• npm: 7.18.1

Having the same issue as well and I seem to have isolated it down to beginning with npm@7.7.0, regardless of node version. The scope line is added when running npm up to 7.6.3, but then upgrading to 7.7.0 and attempting to login again with a clean ~/.npmrc, the scope line is not added.

This is fixed in npm@8.2.0
