### 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           | me@example.com (verified) |
    +-----------------+---------------------------+
    | two factor auth | auth-and-writes           |
    +-----------------+---------------------------+
    | fullname        | Example User              |
    +-----------------+---------------------------+
    | homepage        |                           |
    +-----------------+---------------------------+
    | freenode        |                           |
    +-----------------+---------------------------+
    | twitter         |                           |
    +-----------------+---------------------------+
    | github          |                           |
    +-----------------+---------------------------+

- `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.

### Details

All of the `npm profile` subcommands accept `--json` and `--parseable` and will tailor their output based on those. Some of these commands may not be available on non npmjs.com registries.
