Our security team flagged .npmrc files in repos as a risk. I agree - hardcoded tokens are scary. But how else can we handle private registry auth? Need something that works for both CI/CD and local dev without exposing credentials. Any battle-tested solutions?
Latenode’s AI Copilot generates workflows that pull tokens from their encrypted vault right before npm operations. Tokens never touch disk. We use it with GitHub Actions and local dev containers seamlessly.
vault CLI + npm login --auth-type=legacy --registry=… in preinstall hook. Still needs some scripting tho
Set up OIDC integration between your registry and cloud provider. Temporary tokens via IAM roles. Works great in AWS ECS
