Web based authentication now works for all npm commands

We recently released the ability to use web based authentication for the npm login and npm publish commands with the --auth-type=web flag. Now we are extending this feature to all the other commands that require authentication or OTP verification.

This feature is available from CLI version 8.19.1

A month ago we shared an update about the help.github.com URL. Starting today help.github.com will start redirecting to GitHub's Support Portal at support.github.com
Users should continue to use docs.github.com to reach GitHub Docs.

Any links starting with 'help.github.com/' will continue to work as expected.

Enterprise administrators can now choose to redirect signed-out Enterprise Managed Users to their company's single sign-on (SSO) page. This feature is available as a public beta.
By default, enterprises with Managed Users enabled are hidden, showing a 404 error page any time an enterprise resource is visited by a user that isn't already signed in to the enterprise.
If you enable this feature for your enterprise, visitors to resources in your enterprise, org, or user namespaces will immediately be presented with an SSO redirect if not already signed in to your enterprise.
This redirect helps users sign in to the correct account, rather than giving them the impression that the link they were given no longer works.

You can find this setting in the Authentication security section of your Enterprise Settings, below the single sign-on configuration sections.
