Automated excerpt

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 extension builds on the preventive account protection npm introduced for high-impact accounts, further slowing account-takeover attempts and reducing the risk of malicious publishing from a compromised recovery code.
