In this state, copy the URL from the address bar and press the Get button with that URL as the pace in the panel. Press the Set button to automatically set the token to the OAuth2 access token property.
When you click the Open Browser button, the browser will automatically authenticate you. If necessary, please follow the instructions on the screen, including the login process.
When authentication is complete, an error message “This page cannot be reached” will appear, so please copy the URL from the address bar at this time.
