### Synopsis

    npm profile enable-2fa [auth-only|auth-and-writes]
    npm profile disable-2fa
    npm profile get [<key>]
    npm profile set <key> <value>

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.

### 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.

### Details

Some of these commands may not be available on non npmjs.com registries.

### Configuration

#### `registry`

- Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
- Type: URL

The base URL of the npm registry.

#### `json`

- Default: false
- Type: Boolean

Whether or not to output JSON data, rather than the normal output.

- In `npm pkg set` it enables parsing set values with JSON.parse() before saving them to your `package.json`.

Not supported by all npm commands.

#### `parseable`

- Default: false
- Type: Boolean

Output parseable results from commands that write to standard output. For `npm search`, this will be tab-separated table format.

#### `otp`

- Default: null
- Type: null or String

This is a one-time password from a two-factor authenticator. It's needed when publishing or changing package permissions with `npm access`.

If not set, and a registry response fails with a challenge for a one-time password, npm will prompt on the command line for one.
