Receiving a one-time password over email

For your security, npm may require additional verification to allow you to log in to your account.  If you do not have  two-factor authentication  enabled, you may be asked to verify yourself with a one-time password sent to the email address configured for your account.

To avoid this additional login step, with a one-time password sent to you via e-mail, you can configure  two-factor authentication with a device  (2FA) instead.

Logging in with a one-time password

Enabling two-factor authentication

For your security, npm may require additional verification to allow you to log in to your account.  If you do not have two-factor authentication enabled, you may be asked to verify yourself with a one-time password sent to the email address configured for your account.

Log in to npm with your user account.

You'll be prompted for a one-time password that was sent to your email.

Check your email account for an email from npm containing your one-time password (the subject will begin "OTP for logging in to your account").

Enter the digits from your email in your one-time password field.

To avoid this additional login step, with a one-time password sent to you via e-mail, you can configure two-factor authentication with a device (2FA) instead.
