npm adduser errors with a 400 error

I am trying to do npm adduser, I enter in all the info it asks for and when I do I get the following error:

npm http PUT https://registry.npmjs.org/-/user/org.couchdb.user:thecolorred

The error tells me to check the log file, so I check the log file and I get this output:

I have no idea what it is telling me, why is adduser not working?

Your npm version (1.3.10) is too old and some non-backward compatible changes have been made since then.

Current stable version is 2.7.6
