npm CLI reports EOTP when an interactive publish needs a current one-time password; non-interactive publishing can instead surface the registry's 403 requirement for 2FA or an authorized bypass path. Classic npm tokens were permanently revoked in December 2025, so older advice to create a Classic Automation token can no longer work.

Confirm the exact signature and listed technology tags before buying. The remediation and verification procedure remain paid.
