If web3.eth.getAccounts is working, then why don't you simply use it??? As of web3.js v1, web3.eth.accounts is deprecated.

I can use it but I am not able to choose any of the accounts specifically which I was able to do with 'web3.eth.accounts[0]" , please let me know the replacement for this?

1. You cannot use it, as it is undefined; you even specify it in your own question! 2. You've already found a replacement, and again - you even specify it in your own question!

from @goodvibration in the comments :

That is true. in the newer version of web3.js web3.eth.getAccounts returns a promise, so that is why doing :

var accounts = web3.eth.getAccounts();

accounts[0];

will return undefined.

TLDR : use this code instead (if it works, didn't test) :

var accounts =  await web3.eth.getAccounts();

accounts[0];

Use the code below to retrieve all the accounts

   var accounts = web3.eth.getAccounts();

Use this code to reference a single account

   var account0;

   web3.eth.getAccounts().then(function(result){

     account0 = result[0];

   })
