Error Message: MongoError: bad auth Authentication failed through URI string

Question

I\'m trying to connect to my mongoDB server via the connection string given to me by mongo:

"mongodb+srv://david:p         


        

Answer 1

Works great!!

Answer 2

I forgot to update the user after generating and copying the password and was wondering why it wasn't working. I saw the update button later. I was not visible to me earlier. lol. Solved the problem.

Database Access => edit user => generate/copy password => update it! It worked for me.

remember to make sure you have updated it.

Answer 3

mongodb+srv://jehat123:<password>@jehatarmancdeniz-x2yf7.mongodb.net/question-answer?retryWrites=true&w=majority

Delete all of password part

Use like this:

mongodb+srv://jehat123:yourpass@jehatarmancdeniz-x2yf7.mongodb.net/question-answer?retryWrites=true&w=majority

Answer 4

just remove the angel brackets from both side of your password

const db = 'mongodb+srv://username:<password>@cluster0-re3gq.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true'------->wrong

const db = 'mongodb+srv://username:password@cluster0-re3gq.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true'------>correct

Answer 5

I think you're confused with the mongodb account password and user password. You should use user password, not account password. That was the reason of my case.

Answer 6

I had the same problem, and in my case, the answer was as simple as removing the angle brackets "<"and ">" around <password>. I had been trying: my_login_id:<my_password>, when it should have been my_login_id:my_password.
