[Adminsysters] Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on your npm account: systerserserver

[npm]

Hi, systerserserver!

It looks like you still do not have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled on your npm account.

To enable 2FA, please follow instructions in our documentation under "Configuring two-factor authentication". Link: https://docs.npmjs.com/configuring-two-factor-authentication

**What is 2FA?**
2FA is an extra layer of security used when logging in to websites or apps. With 2FA, you must log in with your username/password and provide another form of authentication that only you know or have access to. 

2FA also protects package publishing. When you publish a package from the command line, you will be prompted to provide a generated token to do so. 

You can read more about the importance of 2FA here. Link: https://docs.npmjs.com/about-two-factor-authentication

**What if I lose my 2FA device?**
npm provides several options to avoid account lockout and for account recovery in the case of lost 2FA devices.
- Ensure you store your recovery codes in a safe place, each recovery code can be used once to gain access to your account. This is by far the easiest way to get access when locked out. Link: https://docs.npmjs.com/recovering-your-2fa-enabled-account#viewing-and-regenerating-recovery-code
- Register multiple security keys to ensure that even if you lose access to one of your devices you will not be locked out.
- Link your GitHub and Twitter accounts to npm which can be used for identity verification if you do need to ever go through account recovery. Link: https://docs.npmjs.com/managing-your-profile-settings#linking-your-npm-and-github-accounts

**Will enabling 2FA impact my CI/CD workflows?**
Don’t worry, if you want to automate publishing in CI/CD, you can use a granular access token to publish without 2FA. To create a granular access token, please follow our documentation under "Creating granular access tokens". Link: https://docs.npmjs.com/creating-and-viewing-access-tokens#creating-granular-access-tokens-on-the-website

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the npm support team. Link: https://www.npmjs.com/support
