  Description

Change your profile information on the registry. Note that this command depends on the registry implementation, so third-party registries may not support this interface.

    •   npm profile get [<property>]: Display all of the properties of your profile, or one or more specific properties. It looks like:

    name: example
    email: e@example.com (verified)
    two-factor auth: auth-and-writes
    fullname: Example User
    homepage:
    freenode:
    twitter:
    github:
    created: 2015-02-26T01:38:35.892Z
    updated: 2017-10-02T21:29:45.922Z

    •   npm profile set <property> <value>: Set the value of a profile property. You can set the following properties this way: email, fullname, homepage, freenode, twitter, github

    •   npm profile set password: Change your password. This is interactive, you'll be prompted for your current password and a new password. You'll also be prompted for an OTP if you have two-factor authentication enabled.

    •   npm profile enable-2fa [auth-and-writes|auth-only]: Enables two-factor authentication. Defaults to auth-and-writes mode. Modes are:

        •   auth-only: Require an OTP when logging in or making changes to your account's authentication. The OTP will be required on both the website and the command line.

        •   auth-and-writes: Requires an OTP at all the times auth-only does, and also requires one when publishing a module, setting the latest dist-tag, or changing access via npm access and npm owner.

•   npm profile disable-2fa: Disables two-factor authentication.
