If you want to connect to a database with no auth enabled, you call call
MongoClient()

Instructions are here:

https://api.mongodb.com/python/current/tutorial.html

Note that you should always secure MongoDB for a production deployment,
including running it behind a firewall and turning authentication on. Here
is a full security checklist

Does anyone know how to auth with pymongo w/o username and password?

client['localhost'].authenticate('','', mechanism='MONGODB-CR')

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pymongo/database.py", line
1018, in authenticate
connect=True)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pymongo/mongo_client.py",
line 444, in _cache_credentials
sock_info.authenticate(credentials)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pymongo/pool.py", line 343,
in authenticate
auth.authenticate(credentials, self)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pymongo/auth.py", line 464,
in authenticate
auth_func(credentials, sock_info)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pymongo/auth.py", line 432,
in _authenticate_mongo_cr
key = _auth_key(nonce, username, password)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pymongo/auth.py", line 266,
in _auth_key
digest = _password_digest(username, password)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pymongo/auth.py", line 252,
in _password_digest
raise ValueError("password can't be empty")
ValueError: password can't be empty

client['localhost'].authenticate('',None, mechanism='MONGODB-CR')

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pymongo/database.py", line
