MongoDB password with “@” in it

Question

I\'m trying to connect to a MongoDB database with a username and password using Mongoose in Node.js. All the docs say that the connection string should look like

<         


        

Answer 1

For those connecting with Mongo Compass.(MacOSx) Simply go to your cluster->Security(Tab)at mongodb.com

Then

edit your password(press the edit button on your username):

You will get a modal/popup/dialog:Press edit password underneath your name(the button is greyed out by default but appears just underneath your name)->Then press Update User

Next:

Close your mongo db compass application if its running:(Quit Mongo)

Next Step:

Return to the Overview Tab in mongodb.com.and select Connect

Return to OverView:

Next Step:

In the popup dialog select Connect with MongoDB Compass then in the next view select a version you want to use(preferably VersionNumber earlier):

Then:

Copy the URI String presented to you:

Reopen MongoDB Compass application:

And it will give you the option/popup to use the URI String detected:Click Yes

Final step:

Enter your new password and Connect. Now your connection should now be successful.
