--- title: npm-token section: 1 description: Manage your authentication tokens --- ### Synopsis ```bash npm token list npm token revoke npm token create [--read-only] [--cidr=list] ``` Note: This command is unaware of workspaces. ### Description This lets you list, create and revoke authentication tokens. * `npm token list`: Shows a table of all active authentication tokens. You can request this as JSON with `--json` or tab-separated values with `--parseable`. ```bash +--------+---------+------------+----------+----------------+ | id | token | created | read-only | CIDR whitelist | +--------+---------+------------+----------+----------------+ | 7f3134 | 1fa9ba… | 2017-10-02 | yes | | +--------+---------+------------+----------+----------------+ | c03241 | af7aef… | 2017-10-02 | no | 192.168.0.1/24 | +--------+---------+------------+----------+----------------+ | e0cf92 | 3a436a… | 2017-10-02 | no | | +--------+---------+------------+----------+----------------+ | 63eb9d | 74ef35… | 2017-09-28 | no | | +--------+---------+------------+----------+----------------+ | 2daaa8 | cbad5f… | 2017-09-26 | no | | +--------+---------+------------+----------+----------------+ | 68c2fe | 127e51… | 2017-09-23 | no | | +--------+---------+------------+----------+----------------+ | 6334e1 | 1dadd1… | 2017-09-23 | no | | +--------+---------+------------+----------+----------------+ ``` * `npm token create [--read-only] [--cidr=]`: Create a new authentication token. It can be `--read-only`, or accept a list of [CIDR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing) 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. Currently, the cli can not generate automation tokens. Please refer to the [docs website](https://docs.npmjs.com/creating-and-viewing-access-tokens) for more information on generating automation tokens. ```bash +----------------+--------------------------------------+ | token | a73c9572-f1b9-8983-983d-ba3ac3cc913d | +----------------+--------------------------------------+ | cidr_whitelist | | +----------------+--------------------------------------+ | readonly | false | +----------------+--------------------------------------+ | created | 2017-10-02T07:52:24.838Z | +----------------+--------------------------------------+ ``` * `npm token revoke `: 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 `npm token create`, and those found in your `.npmrc`), and ids as seen in the parseable or json output of `npm token list`. This will NOT accept the truncated token found in the normal `npm token list` output. ### Configuration #### `read-only` * Default: false * Type: Boolean This is used to mark a token as unable to publish when configuring limited access tokens with the `npm token create` command. #### `cidr` * Default: null * Type: null or String (can be set multiple times) This is a list of CIDR address to be used when configuring limited access tokens with the `npm token create` command. #### `registry` * Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/" * Type: URL The base URL of the npm registry. #### `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. ### See Also * [npm adduser](/commands/npm-adduser) * [npm registry](/using-npm/registry) * [npm config](/commands/npm-config) * [npmrc](/configuring-npm/npmrc) * [npm owner](/commands/npm-owner) * [npm whoami](/commands/npm-whoami) * [npm profile](/commands/npm-profile)
