问HN：NPM文档关于身份验证和令牌管理的变更很混乱，该怎么办？
NPM已经困扰我一段时间，要求我更新我的“可写的细粒度令牌”，并给我提供了一个链接：https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-29-strengthening-npm-security-important-changes-to-authentication-and-token-management。
坦白说，那份文件完全是沟通失败。它是用极其专业的术语写成的，普通人根本无法理解这份文件想要传达什么，或者该如何应对，甚至不知道自己是否需要采取任何行动。
他们还贴心地指向NPM文档，显然这些文档已经更新以反映最新的变化，但他们提供的链接实际上是https://docs.npmjs.com，这个链接——毫不意外——直接带你到NPM文档的首页。那个页面上有两个相同的主题列表，包括“关于npm”、“入门”、“包和模块”、“集成”、“组织”、“政策”、“威胁与缓解”、“npm CLI”，但显然没有任何与政策变化和“细粒度可写令牌”相关的内容。
我完全迷失了。我该如何测试是否需要进行更改？如果我需要更改，哪些数据会受到影响？我需要使用什么工具，可以使用网址还是应该使用npm（或pnpm）CLI工具？未来我需要做些什么？我是否需要每30天都进行一次这样的程序？如果我错过了某个日期，会有什么后果，我能否以某种方式恢复？
这些简单、明显且重要的问题显然在我被引导点击的页面中没有得到任何解答。现在我只知道我必须担心细粒度可写令牌。

NPM has been bugging for some time now to update my "write-enabled granular tokens" and links me to https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-29-strengthening-npm-security-important-changes-to-authentication-and-token-management/<p>Frankly, that document is a complete communication failure. It is pure nerdview written in nerdalese. Nobody whose mother hasn't come down in the server room can possibly understand what this document intends to communicate, or what to do about it, or even whether you have to do anything about it.<p>They helpfully points to the NPM documentation which apparently has been updated to reflect the newest changes BUT what they link to is literally https://docs.npmjs.com/ which—unsurprisingly—gets you to the NPM documentation front page. That page has two identical lists of such existing topics as "About npm", "Getting started", "Packages and modules", "Integrations", "Organizations", "Policies", "Threats and mitigations", "npm CLI", but apparently none that is specific to the policy change and "granular writable tokens" or whatever.<p>I'm completely lost. How do I test whether I have to change anything? If I have to change something, what data will be affected on my side and the remote side? What tools do I have to use, can I use a web address or should I use the npm (or pnpm) CLI tools? What will I have to do in the future? Will I have to go through the procedure every 30 days looking forward? What are the consequences if I miss a date, can I somehow revert?<p>None of these simple, obvious and important questions is apparently covered in any way by the pages that I was made to click through to. All I know now that have to worry about grainy write tokens.
