We had previously announced the deprecation of NuGet.org’s home-grown authentication<\/a> in favor of Microsoft accounts (MSA) that will allow us to add support for additional security systems such as two-factor authentication (2FA). We will be disabling the NuGet.org’s home-grown authentication mechanism starting June 1st, 2018<\/strong>. This means that you can only sign in to NuGet.org using a Microsoft account or an Azure AD account from next month. If you have not yet linked your account to MSA\/AAD, do it now!<\/p>\n

Linking MSA\/AAD to an existing account<\/h2>\n

If you have not yet linked your NuGet.org account to a MSA\/AAD, you can do so from the Account Settings<\/code><\/a> page > Login Account<\/code> > Link Microsoft account<\/code>:<\/p>\n

\"Add<\/p>\n

Starting June 1st, 2018<\/strong> when you sign in to NuGet.org with a username\/password (NuGet.org authentication), you will be asked to link your MSA account in a blocking dialog as shown below. You won’t be able to proceed with any other action on NuGet.org including package upload, changing settings, etc. unless you link MSA\/AAD account with NuGet.org.<\/p>\n

\"Blocking<\/p>\n

Once you sign in with your MSA\/AAD credentials, your account will be linked to the new authentication and the existing username\/password based NuGet.org authentication mechanism will be removed from your account. Going forward you must use the newly linked MSA\/AAD account to sign in to NuGet.org.<\/p>\n

To convert your account into an organization<\/a><\/strong>, you can directly navigate to https:\/\/www.nuget.org\/account\/transform<\/a>. This will prevent you an additional step to first link an MSA before transforming your account to an organization.<\/p>\n

Using two-factor authentication<\/h2>\n

We recommend you enable two-factor authentication (2FA), with your MSA account, to sign in NuGet.org for enhanced security. This can be easily enabled from the Account Settings<\/code><\/a> page > Login Account<\/code> > Enable<\/code> 2FA:<\/p>\n
