It's been rolling out since 2023 and keeps widening; the npm rules tightened again this month.

                                                                                                                                                                          Not set up? An authenticator app or a passkey both work. SMS works but it's the weakest option. GitHub is also moving npm publishing off TOTP toward passkeys and security keys.
