Previously I could use db.authenticate(String username, char[] password) method. With 2.13.0, how can I achieve this?

There is no replacement for db.authenticate(). The driver will use the credentials provided and make sure the connections are authenticated as they are created.
Based on this mongodb-user discussion the Java Driver team is open to discussions on what the real need for the db.authenticate(...) method.

Use
import com.mongodb.MongoCredential;
MongoCredential mongoCred = MongoCredential.createMongoCRCredential(String username, String dbName, char[] password);
and create mongoclient using mongocredentials
com.mongodb.MongoClient.MongoClient(List seeds, List credentialsList, MongoClientOptions options)

I know about MongoCredential. I just want to authenticate database against username or password as I mentioned in my question.
We can have user-password based authentication for databases, in that case we need to provide authorization credentials like below for new version.
MongoCredential journaldevAuth = MongoCredential.createPlainCredential("pankaj", "journaldev", "pankaj123".toCharArray());
MongoCredential testAuth = MongoCredential.createPlainCredential("pankaj", "test", "pankaj123".toCharArray());
List<MongoCredential> auths = new ArrayList<MongoCredential>();
auths.add(journaldevAuth);
auths.add(testAuth);
ServerAddress serverAddress = new ServerAddress("localhost", 27017);
MongoClient mongo = new MongoClient(serverAddress, auths);
If you are using older versions, you need to provide authentication details after getting the DB object like below
MongoClient mongo = new MongoClient("localhost", 27017);
DB db = mongo.getDB("journaldev");
boolean auth = db.authenticate("pankaj", "pankaj123".toCharArray());
