Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

In response to recent security breaches, GitHub is improving npm security to safeguard the open source ecosystem. It is mandating two-factor authentication for local publishing, implementing granular tokens with limited lifespans, and promoting trusted publishing. Legacy tokens and TOTP-based 2FA will be deprecated, and token publishing access will be restricted by default.
