\fBnpm token create \[lB]--read-only\[rB] \[lB]--cidr=<cidr-ranges>\[rB]\fR: Create a new authentication token. It can be \fB--read-only\fR, or accept a list of \fBCIDR\fR \fI\(lahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing\(ra\fR ranges with which to limit use of this token. This will prompt you for your password, and, if you have two-factor authentication enabled, an otp.
.P
Currently, the cli can not generate automation tokens. Please refer to the \fBdocs website\fR \fI\(lahttps://docs.npmjs.com/creating-and-viewing-access-tokens\(ra\fR for more information on generating automation tokens.

\fBnpm token revoke <token|id>\fR: Immediately removes an authentication token from the registry. You will no longer be able to use it. This can accept both complete tokens (such as those you get back from \fBnpm token create\fR, and those found in your \fB.npmrc\fR), and ids as seen in the parseable or json output of \fBnpm token list\fR. This will NOT accept the truncated token found in the normal \fBnpm token list\fR output.

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