McKinley Valentine (ID: 00000000322c04fb) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/20/2023 Where do I input the auth token? That screen in the third image doesn't appear anywhere, there's no options or anything. (Will increase star rating if I get a response to this - at the moment the extension doesn't work because I can't see a way to input the token)
