- `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.
