npm extends recovery-code security holds to all accounts

UpdateSep 9, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

npm now places a temporary 72-hour security hold on any account after a successful recovery-code sign-in, extending a protection that previously applied only to high-impact accounts. This change applies to all npm accounts. During the hold, publishing and other security-sensitive writes, including creating access tokens, are paused.
