mongosh --port <PORT> <DATABASE_NAME> -u <USERNAME> -p <PASSWORD>
this what I got:
...
MongoServerError: Authentication failed.

To solve this problem add this option and argument to your mongosh command:
--authenticationDatabase admin
So the full command will be like that:
mongosh --port <PORT> <DATABASE_NAME> -u <USERNAME> -p <PASSWORD> --authenticationDatabase admin

This is only valid when the user is created in `admin` database. It should be the normal case, however you can create users in any database. – Wernfried Domscheit Apr 08 '23 at 10:38
