Description of the problem

We have a private codesandbox that is linked to a private GitHub repository. In this, there are a few private npm packages. I have already put in the npm registry token and scope for the account (Registry Host: npm), but it still fails to install (commenting out the packages makes the codesandbox work).

How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?

We are unable to get the sandbox to work correctly. Private npm packages will not download successfully.

To Reproduce

• create a private codesandbox that is linked to a private Github repo
• the package.json should have a private npm package that is on the npm registry
• add the relevant npm token that allows the account to download the package
• go to the codesandbox

Link to sandbox: link (optional)

I am having the same problem, have tried with different tokens (tested those locally on my machine and I can install the private packages correctly). In my case the packages are hosted on github.

Hey, @ahcai, have you managed to resolve this? I'm experiencing the same issue right now and looking for a solution. Custom registry and credentials are filled in in the profile (tried different passwords and methods: Basic, Bearer).
