I'm trying to connect mongodb from mlabs. I've inserted the following code: 

Mongoose.connect('mongodb://<dhan004>:<password1>@ds163402.mlab.com:63402/projecttwist', {useNewUrlParser: true });

It then gave me this error: 

(node:32032) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): MongoError: Authentication failed.

Can anyone explain why I'm getting this error?

  • The error indicates that it failed on authentication, so check the username and password portion of your connection string, which usually goes by: `protocol://username:password@host:port/path`, in this case protocol is `mongodb`, `host:port` parts you should double check too, and `path` part in this case point to the DB. Double check all parts based on this and try again. – woozyking Sep 20 '18 at 04:19

Just remove the brackets(both < and the >) from the username and password section.

For username should use: dhan004

And for the password you should use: password1

So your final db address should be: 

Mongoose.connect('mongodb://dhan004:password1@ds163402.mlab.com:63402/projecttwist', {useNewUrlParser: true });
