title: npm-profile
section: 1
description: Change settings on your registry profile
---
### Synopsis
```bash
npm profile get [--json|--parseable] [<property>]
npm profile set [--json|--parseable] <property> <value>
npm profile set password
npm profile enable-2fa [auth-and-writes|auth-only]
npm profile disable-2fa
```
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:
```bash
+-----------------+---------------------------+
| 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
Some of these commands may not be available on non npmjs.com registries.
### Configuration
<!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS START -->
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
#### `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.
