The agent created a neon database for me. This included setting up the account, credentials and database structure.
Out of nowhere, I have lost connection to the neon database. Error message shows its because my credentials are no longer correct (though I did not change them). Looks like the way to resolve this is to log in to neon db dashboard, but you need an email address for that. From what I can see, when Replit provisions a Neon database for you, it creates a Neon project under the hood using its own Neon organization. So its not actually possible to log in and get the new password.
Has anyone else had this problem and has anyone else solved it? My app is currently inaccessible as a result of this
You’re right that you can’t access the Neon dashboard directly since Replit provisions these databases under their own organization. When Replit creates a Neon database for you, it’s created under Replit’s Neon organization, so you won’t be able to see or manage it from the Neon dashboard with your own account.
If your database still exists and hasn’t been deleted, you should be able to access it through Replit’s tools despite the connection error in your application.
Check Replit Secrets - All your connection credentials should be stored in Secrets. If you haven’t changed these, they should still work.
Verify using Tools - Try accessing your database through Replit’s built-in Database(Postgres) tool to see if you can view your data.
This is the weird thing. I didnt change the secret stored in replit. All the db connection details are still in there (I know this for sure because I saved a copy of them elsewhere and have checked).
Upon further inspection, it looks like this may have happened because I deleted an old Repl, and Repls are in some way connected to each other when it comes to Neon. Deleting one of the original Repls may have triggered a change in the credentials, without updating the credential details in the other Repl’s secret. The Replit team are looking into it for me, but if you have any suggestions they are greatly appreciated.
