• not be in the "Have I Been Pwned" breach database

How to Change Profile Settings from the CLI

Requires npm version 5.5.1 or greater.

To view and set profile properties from the Command Line Interface (CLI), use these commands:

How to Set a Password from the Command Line

To set a password, type:

npm profile set password

npm will prompt you for your current password, then you can set the new password.

When you reset your password from the CLI, it must:

• be longer than 7 characters

How to Set Other Profile Properties

To set other values, append them to the end of the line as shown:

$npm profile set fullname nori pat marsupial

npm will prompt for credentials, including a one-time-password if you have enabled two-factor authentication. npm will then confirm that the change has occurred:

Set fullname to nori pat marsupial

Enabling and Disabling Two-Factor Authentication

Enable two-factor authentication if you would like to make it more difficult for attackers to gain access to your account and your publishing rights.

You can enable and disable two-factor authentication from the command line, or from the web, using the steps described here.
