Bad Authentication: [Symbol(mongoErrorContextSymbol)]: {}

Question

I tried to connect MongoDB through mLab.com. It got redirected to MongoDB Atlas. I created one project and cluster. When trying to connect I get the Bad Authentication error, though my credentials are correct.

Password holds special characters. I tried replacing those special characters with ASCII hex code as well, but no response.

I replace my password in the below code

config/keys.js

module.exports = {
  mongoURI: `mongodb+srv://Nikhilesh:<password>@devconnector-gicbg.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true`
};

server.js

const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const db = require("./config/keys").mongoURI;

mongoose
  .connect(db, { useNewUrlParser: true })
  .then(() => console.log("DB Connected"))
  .catch(e => console.log(e));

Result:

{ MongoError: bad auth Authentication failed.

Verify if the path is correct – Syed Hammad Ahmed Apr 18 '19 at 17:49 — Syed Hammad Ahmed, Apr 18 '19 at 17:49
mongoURI is correct. Which path are you talking about ? – Nikhilesh A S Apr 19 '19 at 14:20 — Nikhilesh A S, Apr 19 '19 at 14:20

Downgrade your mongoose to 5.4.6.

Below mongoose connect set of codes, add

mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;

Let me know if it works.

Where does this `global.Promise` come from? – Nikhilesh A S May 04 '19 at 07:17
