### Synopsis

<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->

### 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.
