Mongodb Atlas: Error: Username contains an illegal unexpected character












0















I have created an online account account with MongoDB Atlas. And now I am trying to connect to it. Form the Atlas admin panel, I can retrieve the connection string for my node app.I click at connect and it brings me a modal form where I select "Connect you Application". I select it and then copy the whole connection string proposed.



enter image description here



After that, I apply the connection in my application and I replace on the password placeholder, my real password.(something like:)



await mongoose.connect("mongo://_myusername_:_password__")@cluster0-shard--00-00-neswb.mongodb.net:27017...


But I get the below error:



enter image description here



I cannot understand what is the illegal character here. This is a connection string generated by Mongodb Atlas.



Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been on this issues from quite some time now.



Thank you!
