I have confirmed thru \du that indeed a user postgres exists, i created (i am not sure if actually ecto was the one supposed to create) a database with the same name in the dev.exs in the config directory and logged in using the password postgress and the log in was successful.
I returned to my elixir/phoenix app and run mix ecto.create and the same error “password authentication failed for user postgres”.
Any other hint or solution is welcome.
