How do I publish a package to npm using an API key?

Question

NPM gives the ability to create access tokens with the right to publish packages to the NPM registry, assuming that you've set the package settings to "Require two-factor authentication or automation tokens" in "Publishing access" (and so implicitly it requires 2FA to be enabled, I assume).

How do I use this token to publish? I've checked the output of npm publish -- it asks for an OTP code, either as a prompt or a flag, and before I enabled 2FA it asked me for my password again. Using a fixed token would be easier than having to pull up my authenticator app. I could disable 2FA, but getting the token working is preferable.
