22 ### Synopsis
23
24 ```bash
25 npm token list
26 npm token revoke <id|token>
27 npm token create [--read-only] [--cidr=list]
28 ```
29
30 Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
31
32 ### Description
33
34 This lets you list, create and revoke authentication tokens.
35
36 - `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`.
37
38 ```
39 Read only token npm_1f… with id 7f3134 created 2017-10-21
40
41 Publish token npm_af… with id c03241 created 2017-10-02
42 with IP Whitelist: 192.168.0.1/24
43
44 Publish token npm_… with id e0cf92 created 2017-10-02
45
46 ```
47
48 - `npm token create [--read-only] [--cidr=<cidr-ranges>]`: 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.
49
50 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.
51
52 ```
53 Created publish token a73c9572-f1b9-8983-983d-ba3ac3cc913d
54 ```
55
56 - `npm token revoke <token|id>`: 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.
57
58 ### Configuration
59
60 #### `read-only`
61
62 - Default: false
63 - Type: Boolean
64
65 This is used to mark a token as unable to publish when configuring limited access tokens with the `npm token create` command.
66
67 #### `cidr`
68
69 - Default: null
70 - Type: null or String (can be set multiple times)
71
72 This is a list of CIDR address to be used when configuring limited access tokens with the `npm token create` command.
73
74 #### `registry`
75
76 - Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
77 - Type: URL
78
79 The base URL of the npm registry.
80
81 #### `otp`
82
83 - Default: null
84 - Type: null or String
85
86 This is a one-time password from a two-factor authenticator. It's needed when publishing or changing package permissions with `npm access`.
87
88 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.
