   Note: Adding the Auth header manually like this is **not** a good idea in 
nano 9:
   
   ``` javascript
   requestDefaults: { 
       headers: {
         Authorization:"Basic " + new 
Buffer("admin:"+cdbpass).toString('base64')
       }
     }
   ```
   
   Because this will cause nano to log passwords on errors, see [this 
issue](https://github.com/apache/couchdb-nano/issues/255). [This 
commit](https://github.com/apache/couchdb-nano/commit/c84d0a43b13edc888a2a339f7fb057ad66d3d3fe)
 shows how passwords are redacted. 
   
   So if you don't want to use cookie auth (which requires to await 
`nano.auth(..)`), this is a good way to go with special characters inside the 
password:
   
   ``` javascript
   const opts = {
     url: `http://couchdb:5984`,
     
     requestDefaults: { 
       headers: {
         auth: {
             username: "admin",
             password: "/Pa$$|w0rd^",
           },
       }
     }
   }
   
   const couchdb = nano(opts)
   ```
