@Cookiehs_N_A something like node.js - Error Message: MongoError: bad auth Authentication failed through URI string - Stack Overflow might help, but if not can you share (1) the version of mongoose being used and (2) the connection string being used? (replace the password with XXX).

Some things to check though:

  1. try copy/pasting the connection string again (see docs)
  2. make sure the user/password you’re using are for the database user for your cluster, not the user/password for accessing Atlas itself
