21depends on the registry implementation, so third-party registries may not
22support this interface.
23
24* `npm profile get [<property>]`: Display all of the properties of your
25  profile, or one or more specific properties.  It looks like:

51* `npm profile set <property> <value>`: Set the value of a profile
52  property. You can set the following properties this way: email, fullname,
53  homepage, freenode, twitter, github
54
55* `npm profile set password`: Change your password.  This is interactive,
56  you'll be prompted for your current password and a new password.  You'll
57  also be prompted for an OTP if you have two-factor authentication
58  enabled.
59
60* `npm profile enable-2fa [auth-and-writes|auth-only]`: Enables two-factor
61  authentication. Defaults to `auth-and-writes` mode. Modes are:
62  * `auth-only`: Require an OTP when logging in or making changes to your
63    account's authentication.  The OTP will be required on both the website
64    and the command line.
65  * `auth-and-writes`: Requires an OTP at all the times `auth-only` does,
66    and also requires one when publishing a module, setting the `latest`
67    dist-tag, or changing access via `npm access` and `npm owner`.
68
69* `npm profile disable-2fa`: Disables two-factor authentication.
